The Vermont City Marathon was last Sunday. Jen, Mia, and Mia's fiance Adam all ran the half marathon (Mia and Adam are pictured above).
50 UVM medical students ran the marathon in support of The Penelope and Sam Fund for Neuroblastoma Research at the Vermont Cancer Center. Orgain (who ran as part of a relay team) was heard just before the start of the race saying "they're running for cancer and I'm running for beer."
Many in our "medicine community" take part in the marathon in some way shape or form Here is a short and incomplete list. Former resident, current attending, Chris Hebert ran the entire marathon (3:28). Rufa (former chief, current hospitalist) ran the half. Grant (hospitalist) and Ganguly (GI) ran the relay. I cheered.

The runner quoted above wishes to clarify that he was running for beer on behalf of local Switchback Brewery. Cancer prevention is a good cause, but doesn't taste good post-race like Switchback does...
Dr. Orgain should have said he was running for beer and cancer. I was running for humanity. That includes beer, cancer, the residency program, and all that is good.
