Hi everyone!

Thanks so much for visiting my fundraising page!  The UNC Dance Marathon is an amazing student-run organization here on campus and I am so glad to be a part of it.  We fundraise year round and all of our efforts culminate in a 24 hour marathon that takes place in February.  All proceeds benefit NC Children's Hospital in a variety of ways, such as the For the Kids fund, Parent's Night Out, and tons of other incredible initiatives within the hospital.  If you have any questions, please visit www.uncmarathon.org or feel free to contact me at kmdight@gmail.com

Last year I was a committee member and somewhat begrudingly signed up to dance.  I can honestly say that the marathon was one of the most inspirational days of my life and I am so happy that I was a part of it.  This year I was lucky enough to be chosen to be a member of the Overall Committee, a group of 14 students in charge of making sure all aspects of the marathon have been taken care of.  Never have I seen such a dedicated group of young women and I will be proud to stand next to them when we reveal the total amount that will be given to the hospital.

With everyone's help last year, I was one of the top fundraisers for the 2010 marathon!  While I won't be a dancer this year, I will be at marathon from well before its start until way after its end, running around making sure that the 1,600 dancers and hundreds of moralers and volunteers are all where they are supposed to be and that things are running smoothly.  I am hopeful that I will still be able to financially contribute to this cause and would truly appreciate any amount you can give.  I understand that these are economically difficult times and if you are uncomfortable with donating, I would appreciate it if you just spread the word about the meaning of the UNC Dance Marathon.
