Atlas THON child takes the stage, family will be happy with total 'no matter the result'
Atlas THON family, the Smith's, have been busy this weekend, visiting their THON organization members and dancers and participating in this year's Four Diamonds Fashion Show.
Victoria Smith, 10, took the stage with Atlas members Harris Beck and Isabella Morana who were pushing her wheelchair. Smith sported a blue Penn State zip-up, pink shorts -- provided by Lion's Pride -- and multi-colored sparkly sneakers.
But as she waited in line for lunch with her mother, Stephanie, Victoria began to fall asleep in her chair.
Stephanie said the family has been having a good time visiting with Atlas alumni, their dancers and other committee members. They are looking forward to the total reveal tomorrow and will be happy with the total no matter the result, Stephanie said.
"Whether it's more than last year or not, it's just about seeing the accomplishment after everything the students have done," she said. "It's mind boggling to see so many people come together to achieve one common goal."
