The month of May has ended, the month set aside for brain tumor awareness. I don’t think I could be more aware, but I could probably do more.
I did max-rep pull-ups every day for the entire month. The most I got at one time was 5. This was 4 more from when I started. Most of the time it was just 1, 2, or 3. The last day, May 31, I did 3 sets of 3, just to finish strong.
Kitsap CrossFit, where I train, joined in with me. They each did their pull-ups differently, some needed assistance and some broke them up. They did them in hotel rooms, from trees, on home pull-up bars, and at the gym. But they did them. 8,290 pull-ups. And I am so overwhelmed that they did this for me and for everyone else. It is such a selfless act of love and encouragement.
Did we make a difference? If one person is more aware, does something they may not have done to support this cause, then, yes, we made a difference. And it is not too late. If you wish to donate to the National Brain Tumor Society, follow the link on the right.
What’s next? The American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. I have a team and we are walking. If you wish to donate on behalf of our team, click here. This is a good event -- everyone deserves more birthdays.
