Help Me Marry Lauren
Tax deductible
It was a cold day in Montreal when I looked into Justin and Jordans (Lauren's brothers) eyes to ask for permission to marry Lauren. They both were elated, however, behind their smiles was a devilish plan to make me "work for it".
A contract was drawn up by Justin and Jordan which outlined the details involved in being allowed to marry their sister. After some minor negotiations, a contract was finalized and 3 signatures in blood (otherwise known as "pen blood") bound the contract.
The contract outlined 18 different challenges I would have to complete prior to marrying Lauren. These included: Painting a mural in St. Laurent, eating a whole corn on the Cobb in under 30 seconds, beating Jordan & Justin in beer pong and to make an educational video on youtube.
However, ONE (well there are actually 3) challenge remains:
TO COMPLETE A HALF MARATHON!!!
As a completely untrained, out of shape medical student I will be putting my legs on the line as I walk/jog/run/cry my way through the 21.097494 km (13.1 miles) on Saturday, August 29th, 2020.
Although this half marathon means the world to me - as this will allow me to join the Zipkin Clan and marry Lauren - it also provides me the wonderful opportunity to go out and do some good!
WHAT GOOD YOU ASK? GREAT QUESTION!
The money raised to help me marry Lauren will all go towards the amazing research that is going on at the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research foundation. Their mission is to fund research to discover cures and more effective treatments for carcinoid, pancreatic, and related neuroendocrine cancers. The funds raised will be going towards this extremely important research to find treatment for these difficult to treat cancers. This organization is near and dear to my heart and if you would like to chat more about why I chose this organization feel free to personal message me :) I would like to thank you in advance for any and all donations!

18$ Donation - Will stop and do 18 sit-ups on the run
36$ Donation - Will stop and do 36 jumping jacks on the run
50$ Donation - Will do a 30 second sprint (on video so you can see my suffering)
