Hi everyone! My name is Wolfgang Zacherl, a veteran and full-time MBA student at Boston College. While training for HYROX Boston, I ran into too many days when I didn't feel up to putting in the work necessary to win.
One day. I tried to find every excuse not to work out. When I finally went out for a run, I passed by multiple individuals whose ability to compete was taken from them by the circumstances of birth or an incident. I thought to myself, Why did I fight with myself over this? Why, in my mind, did I think I had the right to complain when I know men and women who I have served with that couldn't do what I get to do right now?
That's why I've chosen to support the Wounded Warrior Project. Because it isn't something I have to do, it's something I get to do.
My goal time for HYROX Boston is 80 minutes. For every minute I am above my time, it costs $10 out of my pocket to the Wounded Warrior Project, and for every minute below my time, it costs $20. The more time I cut, the more we win.
I plan to keep this open until competition day (September 27th).
Every contribution, big or small, makes a real impact. Even just a few dollars can help move this mission forward and reach those who need it most.
If you can’t donate right now, sharing this fundraiser is also incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity. It means the world to me.
This can serve as a reminder to everyone. We don't have to do a lot of the things we do. We GET to do them.
