Lynn's 4x4x48 for the City of Gardner Recreation
Donation protected
I have watched over the last year, the devastating effects of COVID-19 on our communities, and mental health, in particular, our youth, who have been more sedentary than ever before in their lives! I keep asking myself, what more can I do as a social worker, community leader, and advocate for our youth - how can we reach more of them, what more can we do as a community?
With a vision to get our children moving, Dan Forte, our Department of Recreation Director for the City of Gardner has launched a variety of programs from Soccer, baseball, field hockey, Girls on the Run, and more, rolling out this Spring to get our children moving again! Registration has been strong, but we want to ensure no child is left behind! Dan's goal is to create a culture of accessibility for the children of our community, and in a "pay to play" world many are left behind.
If you are unfamiliar with David Goggins, his story is one of pure determination, grit, and endurance! His book "Can't Hurt Me" will inspire anyone who dares to pick it up! David Goggins is an American ultramarathon runner, ultra-distance cyclist, triathlete, motivational speaker, and author. He is a retired United States Navy SEAL and former United States Air Force Tactical Air Control Party member who served in the Iraq War.
I am challenging all of you to donate $20 (the cost of one child) and help me raise $1,000 to benefit the City of Gardner Recreation Program aiding with program and equipment costs. If we smash that number, don't stop giving, how far can we go? I want at least 48 donors who will give me $20 each over the 48 hours I will be tackling this challenge so when I finish the last leg Sunday night, I will be carried by your giving right to the Wildcat on Watkins Field where these children will run, kick, hit, play, laugh, and sweat! Want to go the extra mile for these kids, consider donating $48 for each hour of the challenge!! The children of our community need this more than ever, and we are going to make sure they have every chance they can to move their bodies! It is by far the best medicine for their mental and physical health! “If you’re willing to suffer, and I mean suffer, your brain and body once connected together, can do anything.” David Goggins
Help me, show them all how much we care about their well-being! The 48 hours will be a test of both mental and physical strength for me, but nothing compares to the last 365 days they have all endured! #canthurtme #weareallwildcats #goggins4x4x48challenge #giveback #enduranceathlete #gotrgirl
