"This challenge isn't just about breaking a sweat; it's about building connections, fostering determination, and achieving personal goals all while helping to support the Love a Michigan Vet homeless shelter," stated Sarah Pushies, Summit on the Park Health & Wellness Specialist. "It will be great to see our community come together to focus on their health and well-being, all for a good cause."
