Primary Announcements
Swim Across America For Kidney Pie – July 27
Our brothers from *F3 Bergen* are rallying behind Pax brother, Kidney Pie, by participating in the *Swim Across America* cancer fundraiser on *Monday, July 27*.
Some of us have met him through their F3 Manniversary Convergence or the recent beach convergence. He has been courageously battling a very rare and aggressive form of stomach cancer.
If you’re able to make the trip to North Jersey to support the event, Monday, July 27, that would be outstanding. If not, please consider supporting via the posted link.

Summer Challenges
Brothers –
Our Summer Challenges run through the end of August, and I encourage every one of you to BE ALL IN.
Cross-workout. Cross-pollinate. Visit a new AO. Meet a new brother. Reconnect with one you haven’t seen in years.
You may complete a challenge, but the real reward is the relationships you’ll build along the way.
SideOut
Battle Buddies
