Chris Betancourt, 20, was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia and given the prognosis of one year to live. His best friend, Dillon Hill, 19, took time off from college to help his dying friend fulfill his bucket list. One of the items on his list was to set a world record.
The pair created the Lemons For Leukemia Challenge, a social media campaign asking people to record themselves taking a bit out of a raw lemon, post it online and then challenge someone else to do it. The goal is to raise awareness for bone marrow donations and to set a world record for getting the most registered donors in 24 hours.
