We've got a special challenge for you...
But first, take a moment to consider how veterans experience transitioning back to what you would call "real life."
Exposure to combat and the resulting trauma presents many vets with serious challenges after service.
Transitioning out of military service leaves them without a strong sense of purpose, or a team to share their struggles and experiences with.
And the culture of teamwork and danger of the military is alien to most corporate cultures, making it a struggle to be inspired, hold jobs and maintain a stable income.
Clearly, our nation's heroes deserve better. So we've teamed up with some incredible folks like the Courage Foundation and For Purpose to make an impact. We intend to up-level three core veteran transition needs: proactive mental wellness, workforce development, and community building.
Some of you may have participated in or heard about our mind-blowing challenge that had a team of passionate veteran supporters do 22 million burpees and raise $300k for mental health initiatives. That effort yielded amazing results, with many vets experiencing healing and growth, and even two world records!
This year, we are flipping the mission to allow everyone to participate! This challenge is not going to ask you to do thousands of burpees, but rather show your support and encourage three others to join you in a much lighter way. The goal is to create a viral campaign that will reach millions.
There are two easy steps to join in this social media challenge: - First, Donate $11 at BurpeesForVets.com. Your tax-deductible contribution will support a multitude of non-profit organizations who share in our mission to improve the livelihood of veterans. You can even select your favorite foundation to donate to during checkout. If you are unable to contribute, check out the FAQ on the website to learn how to get sponsored.
- And second, post a video online completing the #BurpeesForVets Challenge. In your video, you'll set a timer for 11 seconds and do as many burpees as you can. This is not a competition, just a show of support, and we intend to show up in force!
It's that simple! Just 11 dollars and 11 seconds of work. Easy day, right?
And as a thank you for joining in the challenge, you'll receive a FREE COPY of our Unbeatable 60-day mindset and goal-setting e-book! Participants will also receive other gifts including one month of free online therapy with BetterHelp, 10% off all Hyperice products, plus more!
