  3. If you wish to contribute burpees to this team, you can email me your totals whenever is convenient to you, but no later than the last day of each month.

I'd love to count you as part of this team > send your Burpee totals to glasgow_ken@hotmail.com

At the end of each month, I'll post the burpee totals for the month [seen below] and if you like I can send you an update...………...…..Read > 3 min

The Problem> The suicide crisis involving our nation's veterans today is at a staggering high figure. Depending on your sources the number is said to be 20 - 22 >>> EVERY DAY! Once we know this, how can we possibly do nothing to help address the crisis?

The Solution> Help give these folks a reason to continue living! Produce a venue for those at risk to reach out for prevention / help. Become involved. You will be someone's hero today and make a difference when you donate. ----> From $5 to $500, and from 10 burpees to 10,000 > No gift is too small, No contribution is too great. Every penny, every burpee, every life... counts. Won't you help provide a path to a solution? Some of our veterans have made sacrifices they had no idea they would be called to make. I salute each and I will work to help each of them recover their sense of purpose.

The funds raised for this program will be used to help some of those veterans that are seeking to help themselves . These veterans are every member of society. Members of our family, our friends and yes, even strangers. These are the veterans that have witnessed traumas they alone cannot shake. Unable to cope, and losing hope that they can overcome the trauma they've witnessed in battle, many who seek help will not find the help they need; they'll exhaust their emotions and take their own life. It's happening in homes from the farthest reaches in our country and all points in between. One result of any suicide is the shockwave that is sent through those left to ponder how this might have been prevented. Suicide leaves a wake of sorrow and confusion for the friends and families of the one lost. Suicide is a disaster for all and we can work to prevent this from happening. Enter: The Courage Foundation.

I believe the program offered by these folks will serve well the candidates that win entry into the program seen here. Note the Mission Statement > The Courage Foundation's mission is, "To foster post-traumatic growth , restore purpose and transform lives through integrative self-awareness, physical health, mental toughness, emotional resilience and spiritual well-being" . ** Consider the action items in that mission; this is Action finding Solution, just awesome!
