While some perceive this trend as a passing fad, others are leveraging their record-breaking attempts to promote important causes.
In an interview with the BBC, Ebere said, “I had to re-strategize and reduce my wailing,” adding that while he was determined to finish out on top, crying for seven days straight proved to be more challenging than he thought.
