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

A little surprised that drinking less alcohol rather than, say, smoking cessation or sound sleep was the greatest single extender to life expectancy -- regardless of the measured age range or chronic health condition. (Multiple major ailments and over age 80 included!) Compared to the other health factors, I'd thought alcoholic intake was less prevalent across an older lifespan.
​
Apparently, the reduction in intake [was not] insignificant. By doing so, even healthy 40-year-olds increased their life expectancy by 6 years.
