UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Megan Schafer knows all too well the horrible effects cancer brings to families across the globe.
When she was in high school Schafer was informed that her younger cousin, Mary, was diagnosed with the petrifying disease. Since that day, Schafer vowed to do all she could to help Mary and all other individuals and families who have had to hear that chilling news about a loved one.
Ever since stepping on the Penn State campus three years ago, Schafer has made it her personal goal to dance for the cure, and for Mary, at THON by the time she graduated.
