Gloucester: From left: Alex Henry reads, Nathan Rubin knits, Emily Farel strums a guitar and Brenden Henry drinks a soda as they try to stay awake during the Cape Ann YMCA's annual Rock-A-Thon at the YMCA Teen Center yesterday. Participants rocked from 8 a.m. yesterday to 8 a.m. this morning and were allowed several 10 minute breaks. The 24 participants brought their own rockers and collected cans of food to donate to the Cape Ann Food Pantry. Over 2,400 cans have been collected so far and the Teen Center will continue accepting donations until March. Photo by Kate Glass/Gloucester Daily Times Tuesday, February 17, 2009
