Please join the #CheyneyChallenge, a monthly donation campaign for America's first HBCU. I made my most recent donation of $18.37 today.
​
As mentioned at the beginning of the year, I've had no automated donations deducted from my bank account since 2021. That remains the case so far in 2023.

Also see January Cheyney Challenge below.

As of this month, I made no attempt to re-enroll in the university's online payment system. I'll probably call and let the Cheyney Foundation know about this before my April Cheyney Challenge.

The Cheyney Challenge is an initiative of alumnus Mr. Bright. I committed to it on WURD's Radio Courtroom in 2015, and began donating the following year.

Vis-à-vis one peer nation, the U.S. can credit its healthcare industry with one positive health outcome. You must be deeply overweight to realize it though.

Swedish men with severe obesity are at greater risk (5X) of dying a premature death from cardiovascular diseases than similar American men, according to one Swedish university study.

IN OTHER WORDS, American men with severe obesity (and cardiovascular disease?) may be more likely (5X) to live a prolonged life than their Swedish counterparts.
