There wasn't a dry eye in the Bryce Jordan Center as Four Diamonds families shared their personal stories of their children's battles with cancer. THON Family Hour proves year-after-year to be the most emotional hour of the 46 that dancers spend standing. Ask any person at the BJC and they'll tell you that listening to the stories of each family's struggles and devastating losses will put an exhausting weekend on your feet into perspective.
