9th Annual Push Up Challenge 
Month Long Virtual Fitness Challenge.  A fun, friendly competition to push-up victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in Archuleta County.

Who can YOU challenge?

THE CHALLENGE: 35,490 total Push-Ups in the month of April 
 
Why 35,490? (That seems like a lot)

How many push-ups can we do together to support victims and survivors in our community?
