1995’s THON weekend was the first of many for Vinny Carrano,
but it was also his sister’s last.
Carrano’s sister Lauren, 9, lost her two-year battle with cancer
in 1996.
He has returned to THON weekend nearly every year since in
her memory.
“THON was our family’s favorite place,” Carrano said. “It
was somewhere we could go and forget about everything else in the world.”
