... of in it FTK!

Happy Wednesday, Baby panthers! 

As you all know, UNI had it's second annual Dance Marathon this past Saturday.  I was a first time DM'er and so the experience was especially memorable for me. A bunch of the girls in my sorority decided that we would all participate in the event together, and we even got to "adopt" one of the Children's Miracle network kiddos. Her name is Ellyonna, and I can't even put into words how great this little girl is. 

 

(sorry about the weird camera angle!)

The Children's Miracle Network is a network of hospitals working especially for the kids (FTK). They work to educate families on childhood issues, train pediatricians and pediatric specialists, as well as treating sick kids. This network does amazing things, including:

• treating 88% of all children with cancer (that's 49,000 kids per year)
• treating 45,000 for heart defects and problems each year
• treating 90% of children with sickle cell anemia

My Gamma Phi girls and our newest "little sister" Ellyonna! :)

Stay in it FTK, baby panthers!
