Most people know of THON as the huge charity dance-a-thon that raises vast sums of money for children with cancer. But what does it take to be a THON dancer?
You can't sleep for days on end.
You line up to eat buffet-style food at designated intervals.
You use communal bathrooms.
You aren't allowed to know the time.
You are called out by a DJ when it's time to take your medication.
You dance your ass off.
