TO THE EDITOR:
By now you’ve heard the phrase “Sign up to dance!” a million times. You’ve seen us in the Pit, and you’ve thought about signing up, but maybe you’re still on the fence.
Being a dancer in UNC Dance Marathon should be on every student’s UNC bucket list. It is not easy — your feet will be sore, you will be tired, and you will be emotionally drained — but you will also be inspired. When the clock hits hour 23, you will be filled with awe by your fellow UNC students and by families from the hospital who vulnerably share their stories about the hardships they have faced.
As Judy Ward, a mom whose twin daughters spent weeks at N.C. Children’s Hospital after birth, told dancers last year, “When life kicks you in the ass — and it will — remember the difference you made for the kids.”
Dancer recruitment week ends today at 5 p.m. Register now at uncmarathon.org
