Cancer took a shot to the chin this weekend as Ohio State's BuckeyeThon raised a record-setting $1.7 million for pediatric cancer research.
BuckeyeThon is a 24-hour, massive charity dance marathon put on by Ohio State students. Participants seek donations and all proceeds are donated to the Nationwide Children's Hospital.
