To the editor:

Saturday night I attended Kansas University’s first Dance Marathon. The reason we were there was because our daughter is a patient at Children’s Mercy. We went to speak to the dancers about our experience at Children’s Mercy.

I want to take this time to thank these students that took the time to put this together. We will never be able to thank you all enough. To be there and see all the children that at one time had been so sick was amazing. I believe you all have started something at KU that’s going to be a tradition for years to come. On behalf of the Whitenight family, we had so much fun. We can’t wait to see you guys again next year! We’re so proud to be Jayhawks!
