I hate running.

It is easily in the last 5 things I would rather be doing with my life. I think I would rather throw myself off the International Space Station and float off into the cold depths of space than run a significant distance. My friends would probably tell you that they have their doubts that I will achieve a full marathon in a month.

However, this is not about me.

Earlier this year, someone I knew from college passed away suddenly from a heart condition Brugada Syndrome at 23 years young. I will admit that I did not know Ben very well, but the interactions I had with him and his closer friends made it clear to me that he was a great guy and is very much loved.

This is my way of honouring him and doing my part so that, one day, no one will have to go through what Ben and his family and friends had to.

One of the things I remember very fondly of Ben is his ability to scull a beer in an inhumanely short amount of time. As I, too, am a big fan of beer, I will livestream me trying my best to absolutely demolish a beer immediately after I finish my marathon over the month of October.
