Why Dance for 12 Hours? For the Kids.

Terp Thon shares 100 reasons to dance. The student group is readying for a 12-hour dance marathon on Saturday to support the Children's National Medical Center.

We shared a story yesterday about the efforts of a University of Maryland student organization called Terp Thon, which is prepping right now for a in Washington, D.C.

The group hopes to raise $300,000, all of which helps local kids struggling with medical issues.

Check out this video the group put together, a collection of reasons why the students choose to dance for an entire half of a day.
