With the UNC Dance Marathon less than a month away, the idea of standing for 24 hours may seem increasingly daunting. Maybe you’re questioning going through with something that you signed up for nearly six months ago.
Despite what you may be feeling right now, the Marathon will be some of your most memorable moments during your time here at UNC. From the relationships you cultivate to the stories you hear from families directly affected by your fundraising efforts, you’ll leave the Marathon already looking forward to the next year.
More specifically, here are the top 10 reasons why you should do the DM thing!
1. The Kid Co-Captain talent show will leave you speechless
