Hello everyone!

My name is Paige Kennedy and I am a senior at Villanova University. I have started the Egg Crack Challenge in honor of my good friend, Will Hauver, who passed away February due to complications from type 1 Diabetes and the Flu at the age of 22.

Thousands of people have posted videos and donated to Type 1 Diabetes Research institutes, including people from over 20 different countries! (New Zealand, Australia, USA, Pakistan, South Africa, Ireland, etc!) The ultimate goal is to have ELLEN DEGENERES complete the challenge, because we believe that she would be great to spread awareness about T1D, and could help us raise significant funds. Many groups have already nominated her, including Georgetown Women's Lacrosse, a WBAL-TV reporter, Villanova's president Father Peter, a sorority from Rollins College, and countless more! Please use the hashtag ‪#‎EllenEggCrack‬ on various social media outlets!!

For a short explanation of the challenge, please watch this tribute I made in honor of Will: http://ellentube.com/videos/1-fx083s2m/

Please also consider liking and contributing to our FaceBook page, where many great videos have been posted:https://www.facebook.com/JDRFEggCrackChallenge

If you have any comments, suggestions, feedback, or connections to someone that could help, please e-mail [email protected]

Since many of you are leaders in the Type 1 Diabetes community, I would absolutely love if you could help spread the word about this challenge, and would love to see your egg crack videos and nominations!

THANK YOU! ‪#‎EggCrackChallenge‬ #EllenEggCrack The Ellen DeGeneres Show
