"Providing our families with a home away from home and friendships and connections that will last a lifetime, although intangible, inspires me each and every day."
Penn State alumna Heather Ross went on a secret mission to use the bathroom during THON 1989.
"Reminding ourselves that we are doing this to make a difference was just something that was unforgettable for me and is definitely one of my favorite moments from my THON experience."
"I think that's where a lot of my desire to help others has stemmed from because I grew up around that amount of kindness."
