There are many ways one can honor the ultimate sacrifices that hundreds of thousands of men and women have made in defense of our country.\u00a0 Today, 17 Pax came together to remember one such brave hero.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
SSG Matthew A. Pucino<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Started and organized by his family (initially his two sisters), the Matthew A. Pucino Foundation’s mission is to, in part, provide for the needs of combat wounded soldiers and their families and families of the fallen.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sound familiar?\u00a0 It is not about you.\u00a0 It is about the other person.\u00a0 Your neighbor.\u00a0 The complete stranger that needs someone.<\/p>\n

This year’s rendition of the Challenge was simple enough.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
10 Burpees<\/p>\n
25 Squats<\/p>\n
1 Minute Plank<\/p>\n
50 Crunches<\/p>\n
25 Leg Lifts<\/p>\n
10 Push-Ups<\/p>\n
1 Mile Run\/Ruck (while wearing a 20# vest or ruck sack)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The goal was to complete the above cycle 5 times, more if you felt so moved.\u00a0 Several felt so moved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
As the workout was performed on the Meadowlark track, the group stayed together, which was definitely part of the plan.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After the completion of each cycle, YHC read a statement to the Pax as they performed the exercices.<\/p>\n

At the start of the event, it was from the SSG Pucino website:<\/p>\n
