Will Hauver, a Towson, Maryland native, passed away due to complications of his type 1 diabetes and the stomach flu in February of 2015. Just six months before passing, he began a movement: the "Type 1 Diabetes Egg Crack Challenge." He had posted a witty and comical video in response to the "ALS Ice Bucket Challenge" that went viral around that time. In this video he pledges a donation of $48.25 to ALS, and also cracks an egg on his head to spread awareness for Type 1 Diabetes, or as he calls it "LIVabetes". His friends from McDonogh School and Rollins College plan to keep his memory alive and to spread awareness for this autoimmune disease that has no cure and is irreversible, unlike many cases of Type 2 Diabetes.
