I simply thought I had food poisoning and next thing I knew I was in the hospital for one week with a burst appendix. This was a very humbling week and it has continued to be a challenge for a 40 day period while I continue to recover strength from the surgery. Now it is time to give back by joining the Push Yourself Up to Make a Difference. Starting November 1st and through November 10th, we will increase our push up total One Per Day. Join me to make a difference.
Nearly 40 days ago my life was put on hold with a burst appendix. The appendectomy left me in the hospital for one week 100 miles away from family and friends. It was a humbling experience, and I am grateful to the Centralia hospital and staff who helped me get through a challenging time. My next huge gratitude goes to my wife who nursed me back to health at home.
Now, it is time to get back into shape and give the proceeds to one of my favorite charities, Homeboy Industries. I have helped raise over $4,000 and I am trying to push over the $5,000 mark with the following push-up program.
It is simple.
Day One, November 1st, do One Push Up.
Day Two, November 2nd, do Two Push Ups.
Day Three, November 3rd, do Three Push Ups.
This will continue until December 10th with 40 Push Ups.
There are two ways to join this program. Simply give $40, $400 or more in support of the cause. The second way is to join me in the program and give to the total amount of push ups that you are able to complete. You can start with me on any day and there is no time like today to start. I guarantee you will feel better no matter how you participate in this program by December 10th.
To give now, give to the Push Yourself Up to Make a Difference.
