From October 23 through October 25, 2018, comedian and The Carson Podcast host Mark Malkoff stayed awake for an amazing 48 hours straight while offering his volunteer services to AFYA Foundation in Yonkers, New York. AFYA is a medical supply recovery organization that ships necessary humanitarian and medical supplies to more than seventy countries globally, so Malkoff was put to work packing and shipping, along with a variety of other duties without the relief of sleep for two days.

Afya Foundation put Mark to work by sorting medical supplies, receiving incoming donations, training new volunteers, answering phones, preparing a shipment bound for Ghana, and even cleaning the bathrooms! Malkoff decided to partner with Afya Foundation to draw attention to the importance of volunteering and the work their foundation has been doing.

Donations of money, supplies and/or time can be made to AFYA through their website.

Of course, Malkoff being who he is, found some time to goof off just a little bit.

Malkoff’s beautiful wife Christine was also on hand to issue directions to her yawning husband.

Honored to have done this video for @afyafoundation. Did I think I could volunteer for 48 hours straight? No way! The secret? A worthy cause! Please watch and share the video. Volunteer and donate if you can. Your support can do more then you can imagine. There is power in what one person can do. Link to the video in my bio.

I’m so grateful for @markmalkoff’s huge generous heart. There is a heart warming and funny video that follows Mark’s 48 hours of volunteering for the @afyafoundation. The link is in my bio. Please take a moment to watch. These photos are from the middle of the night after 40 hours of volunteering. It’s in these late night hours when it was just the two of us I saw his dedication and just how much all of this meant to him.
