MY WHY

A Note from Jeff Jones

I’m pleased to announce our 2024 DSACO 3-2-1 challenge is on course for Saturday 9/14. The “main” event will once again be graciously hosted by Blueprint Health & Fitness in Hilliard, OH. Thank you Blueprint!

This year our basic plan is for participants to use any 3-2-1 theme with the only max being to stay within a 4 hour time period (more or less). Anyone who desires can participate at Blueprint or remotely (we would really love if you can make it to Blueprint. Workouts of all types are welcome and, if participating, don’t feel compelled to do an entire 4 hour workout. Any type of 3-2-1 themed workout is welcome – use your imagination and test yourself as desired!

My plan is to perform 321 sand bag get ups (SBGU) using a 32.1 kilo sandbag (a bit over 70#). Hopefully I’ll be able to walk afterwards!

The event will be from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm at Blueprint on 9/14.As people who know me are well aware, I love Tsingtao beer and it serves as a strong WHY for me. While cold beer is one motivation, the bigger motivation is what this event is all about – helping others. Because of your support our event has helped change the lives of so many DSACO families. Down syndrome runs across all ethnic and socioeconomic groups, and many are not as resource-blessed. Trust me, DSACO dramatically improves lives through so many best-in-class programs, and your participation and donations get leveraged for huge impacts.

By the way, the accompanying picture is my son blocking others from bidding on a silent auction item that he wanted. More than one way to win!
