Pediatric Cancer Persuasive Speech

108 Words1 Page

“Well, what do you think?” It was the fall of my sophomore year, and I was straining to hear my friend describe a new club that she had heard about on the announcements as students whizzed past us in the hallway. She said that it was called Mini-THON, a smaller version of Penn State’s THON, which is a weekend where students dance non-stop to raise money for pediatric cancer research. I hadn’t heard of THON before, but I was incredibly moved by the cause and asked her to text me any more information that she heard about it before we said our goodbyes and sprinted off to class.
