Motivation!!

Just before the start of the 544-mile Sydney to Melbourne Ultramarathon in 1983, one particular runner caught the attention of the Australian media: a 61-year-old potato farmer named Cliff Young. He had shown up before the race wearing overalls and work boots, telling journalists that he had trained in his large rubber boots and had spent much of his childhood chasing after sheep, sometimes for days without rest.

Soon after the race began, Cliff Young fell behind the other runners and seemed on track to finish dead last. But after getting just two hours of sleep the first night, Young got back up and started running — and didn't stop. While the other runners stopped each night to sleep, Young kept moving continuously at his slow pace for five days straight. "I'm just an old tortoise," he said. "I have to keep going to stay in front." In the end, Young won the race in record time, smashing the previous mark by two whole days and leaving the entire world stunned.

This is the incredible story of Cliff Young: https://bit.ly/3NNLomt

The idea of this business is to promote health and wellness for all first responders. While simultaneously providing services to the public as well. A few alarming stats:

-First Responders have a mortality rate 21 times higher the general public.

-First Responders with 10-19 years of service represent a majority of excess deaths among diseases of the circulatory system with the average age of death being 66 yrs.

- Police officers are 25 times more likely to die of a heart attack than to be killed by the violent actions of a suspect. Those that do have a heart attack are likely to have that heart attack at age 46.

Too many law enforcement officers do not take their Health and Wellness seriously. This is only a symptom of the general public as a whole. Obesity in the United States is at an all-time high. The CDC estimates that 40% of adults in the United States are obese. A Harvard University study indicated that 69% of adults in the United States are overweight.

These issues are bleeding over to first responders and military personnel. 70% of military applicants cannot meet the physical requirements. A similar percentage of police applicants fall into the same category. We as a nation must address these issues and attempt to change these statistics.

This business is my small part. I hope to effect life-style changes in people for the better.
