Background
When the lockdown was initiated, I knew my summer plans had changed. All of the competition-based events that I signed up for were cancelled and I started to wonder what I was going to do. Now that my home is my new gym, I shot over to the store and purchased a pull up bar in the picked over exercise equipment section. As my training progressed 100 pull ups turned into 500, and 500 turned into 1000, and so on.
I’m fortunate to live with someone who is an expert in the mental health field. Mental health problems have been increasing every year since 2011 but it was brought to my attention that these risks have increased even more since COVID has arrived. I decided to marry the two worlds of physical fitness and mental health and revise my summer plans.
That’s how I came to the conclusion that I wanted to attempt the Guinness World Record for most pull ups completed in 24 hours and raise funds for an amazing local organization that makes a difference in our community. With health risks on the rise, let's allow these incredible professionals to help the ones who need it most.
The current record stands at 7600 pull ups. My goal is to raise a $1 for every pull up I intend to complete. Any contribution is greatly appreciated and will help make an impact!
