This is my friend Mark, and there’s a very good reason we’re pelting him with rice (and no, it has nothing to do with getting married.)
He’s a survivor of testicular cancer. Last month, he was known as The Guy at Home in His Underwear, having spent 25 consecutive days confined to a loft wearing nothing but his gitch and streamed live à la Truman Show (except he actually knew there were cameras on him). All in the name of raising $50,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
On his last day, we gathered outside the loft — unbeknownst to him — to greet him back into the real world as he donned clothes for the first time in 25 days.
This is how it went.
