Join Full Range for "The Veteran"
On Veteran's Day, Full Range will joining several other gyms in honoring those who served by performing a tribute workout called, appropriately, "The Veteran."This workout was created to raise awareness and funds for The Honor Foundation, an organization that helps members of the Special Forces communities transition into their next career beyond the military – helping them to understand the power of the leadership skills they’ve learned and transitioning into meaningful executive roles. Here’s a brief video giving a rough overview of their operation.While there are many workouts out there that pay tribute to fallen service members, "The Veteran" is one of few that is focused on those that have made it back, but face the difficulties of resuming or transitioning into civilian life. As I am sure you’re well aware, many of our service members make it home, but are not the same as when they left. Rates of suicide, divorce, homelessness, etc…are exponentially higher in our veteran populations.If you are able to do more than the workout, and would like to donate to our team to benefit THF, please follow the link here.
