10,000 Push-Ups
In 10 Days
Raising money to remove financial barriers so more students in my community
can experience the benefits of extracurricular activities.
WHY AM I DOING THIS?
It’s my version of a jog-a-thon. I live in a wonderful community that isn’t super wealthy and I want to remove the financial barrier for students to take part in things that some families might not be able to afford. The benefits of sports and music, for example, are so much more than learning an instrument or throwing a ball. These activities provide opportunities for personal growth, leadership, learning how to deal with people, being on a team, learning what we are truly capable of and breaking new ground! For some students, being a part of that something extra is the only thing that keeps them engaged in school while also connecting them with those unique learning and development opportunities. I want to make sure that any student that wants to be a part of something won’t be left out because of lack of resources. If I can help at least 1 student with these 10,000 push ups it is worth it. We never know who that one student will be one day.

HOW I’M DOING IT
One day at a time. 1,000 push-ups a day. Plenty of nutrient dense carbs, water and electrolytes. Finishing as early as I can in the day so I have more time to rest for the next day. Prioritizing sleep. Icing my shoulders as needed. Shoulder massages by my sexy husband (thanks in advance, babe!) Reminding myself every day of my WHY. And last but not least, with plenty of joy and prayer.
WHERE IS THIS HAPPENING?
I’m not stopping my life to take on this part-time job. I’ll just be adding it to my daily routines at home, plus special appearances around town like First Fridays, the fair, waiting for coffee or my gas to pump. You may also see me throwing a silent dance & push up party around town. Feel free to film me and share so we can raise more money!
