eClub member Lindsay Knight invites us to take part in the “22 Push-Up Challenge,” an initiative that raises awareness of a sobering reality—on average, 22 veterans lose their lives to su***de each day.

Join Lindsay and the kids as they take on the challenge with energy and enthusiasm, while also sharing the meaning behind this important effort.

To learn more, and to meet “Gunny,” the founder of the challenge, we encourage you to attend the District Conference in Talkeetna later this month.
