The "14" Challenge
WHO: Walker, Runners, Push Up Lovers
WHERE: Virtual
WHAT: An opportunity to support Childhood Cancer Awareness for the whole month of September and get yourself ready for the Dragon Run/Walk for Courage. Commit to running 14 miles in the month of September OR commit to walking 14 minutes a day OR commit to doing 14 pushups a day. Why? Because Jake and Conor battled cancer at the age of 14 and no child at any age should have to hear the words "you have cancer." This challenge begins on September 1st and goes until September 30th. Special bundle pricing for both events.
