In February of 2015, college senior, Will Hover, was found unresponsive in his dorm room.

Will was 22 years old, the captain of the Rollins College lacrosse team,

and had been living with type on diabetes since he was 15.

Paige Kennedy went to high school with Will and has been close friends with him ever since.

I'm planning to go to medical school next year so I'm going to University of Maryland School of Medicine.

I went to McDonough School in Baltimore, Maryland.

Paige, you had a fairly big tragedy in your life recently and I was wondering if you could

tell me a little bit about it.

On February 2nd, one of my really close friends, Will Haver, passed away from complications due to type 1 diabetes and the flu.

Just the mixture of his type 1 with the stomach virus turned out to be a deadly combination for him.

His roommate actually walked in and found him

unresponsive in his room, which is so challenging to grasp.

And I think going back home for his funeral and being with all of our high school friends to kind of rally around each other and to remember

Will and all of his funny moments was so cathartic and so helpful for all of us.

Is when you guys were all together is that when you decided to try to keep Will's memory alive with the

egg-crack challenge?

I think that was the starting point, yeah. with the egg crack challenge?

I think that was the starting point.

Yeah, a few of us, a few of his close friends and I

were just talking about how funny it would be if we saw his face plastered

all over the world doing egg crack challenge things.

I think that was probably the starting point of our ideas.
