Back in 2012, the NYC Marathon was cancelled because of Hurricane Sandy. That Sunday, runners showed up at Central Park to run 4 loops of the park, which was the original course of the very first marathon. This was my thank you video for everyone who donated to my charity for my cousin Basil. The highest donor got a special recognition, and the honor of choosing the color of my new mohawk.

In 2017, to celebrate it's 90th year anniverary, Ted's Restaurant had a contest for a Golden Dog Keychain. The winner would get Buy-One-Get-One Free Hot Dogs Forever! *(With Purchase of a Drink.)
