Ready to get fit, and use an event to help you get there? In today's episode, we feature stories of hard working professionals who came together and completed The Trailblaze Challenge, which is a 30 mile hike over mountainous terrain and raised over $100,000 for the Make a Wish Foundation to grant wishes for critically ill children. In this episode we cover:

• You can do more than you think you can when you have a cause, or a “why”
• How you can use events such as a hike as motivation to get fit and live an overall healthier life
• The steps to take in order to prepare for an event like this 
• The importance of group accountability in helping people live fit in all areas of life
• The amazing wishes that were granted by the Make A Wish Foundation
