2005 Penn alumnus Michael Lenahan was visiting Pamplona, Spain, for a summer adventure when he and his brother, 26-year old Lawrence Lenahan, were gored by the same bull during the annual running of the bulls.

The tradition, which was popularized in Ernest Hemingway's novel, The Sun Also Rises, is part of the annual festival of San Fermin in which thousands of people chase and are chased by bulls through the narrow streets of the town in northern Spain.

After recovering from testicular cancer last year, Michael vowed to do something daring each year. The Lenahan brothers were gored the morning of July 12 and as of July 14, were recovering in the Hospital de Navarra in Pamplona, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Both are expected to make a full recovery
