Barber is dancing all by herself in her dorm room, but support from the THON community is keeping her spirits up.
"When I found out, I was super excited. I'm always drowning in my work, but it lifted my spirits so much and made my day so much happier. I got so giddy."
THON dancers and viewers are passing the time and showing off their dance moves on TikTok during the first-ever virtual THON.
Since 1977, THON has raised more than $180 million for the Four Diamonds Fund at Penn State Children's Hospital.
THON kids showed off their impressive talents of gymnastics, drumming, basketball, and even Fortnite dances.
"There's no one else I'd rather dance with."
