Pushups For Charity a Big Success!

spartantraining — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:11:42 +0000

Our annual Pushups For Charity competition is complete, and boy, was it a good one this year…

There were 25 people battling it out to see who could do the most pushups in 90 seconds (though it was much more about raising awareness and money for our returning veterans than competition).

When it was all said and done, the:

Female Winner was Julie Dubrul of Powersource Chiropractic. She did 64 pushups!
Male Winner was Athlon’s very own Steven Reed. He did 82 pushups!

And these were full, all the way down, all the way up, strict pushups! Very impressive…

Check out all the fun in KSBY’s news coverage of it by clicking here: (http://www.ksby.com/player/?video_id=25565) Thank you again to all who donated and came out to participate or cheer us on. It was a lot of fun, we got fit, and WE MADE A DIFFERENCE!

We’ve raised $6,000 so far with still a little more to collect. If you’d like to donate to the Boot Campaign, the beneficiary of our Pushups For Charity event, we would deeply appreciate your generosity. Please click here to go to our fundraising page. You can use a credit card and have it done in 2 minutes. Thank you so much!

Until next time,

Ryan and the Athlon Team!

Get Fit, Have Fun, Make a Difference
