Hey everyone, my name is Ryan Smith and I am a sophmore at the University of Southern Indiana. On November 10, 2012 I will be participating in the USI Dance Marathon for Riley Hospital for Children.

This is an 8 hour event where I will be standing the entire time for the children at Riley who are laying in the hospital beds. At the end of every hour we will be listening to Riley stories from the kids and families who have been to Riley and once called it home.

Don't worry though, I won't be dancing for 8 hours. I don't want to put anyone through that! Instead I will participate in games, making get well cards for the current kids at Riley, and learning a simple line dance throughout the night. 

At the end of the night we will reveal our final total. This year our school is hoping to reach it's goal of $10,000. As a goal I am hoping to raise a personal record of $500 for the event. Please help me reach this goal and donate to this great cause that has made such an impact in my life as well as the children of Riley!!!

Any money you donate will go straight to Riley Hospital for Children to improve care and save lives. So please click the "Donate" button to make a donation. Every little bit helps. Then, please pass this website on to anyone else through email or facebook who you think may want to help this cause. Thanks again and FTK!!!..........(For The Kids)
