About My Challenge
I’m completing this challenge of 3,307 pushups in loving memory of a friend.
Below are a couple of notes I’d like to share, reflecting on her impact on my life.
‘Lil Sam’ is a nickname she gave me when I first met her, and from then on, she’d only ever refer to me as that (literally to the point where she’d be confused for a sec when someone called me ‘Josh’). It now holds a special place in my heart.
One of my fondest memories was seeing her on my 16th birthday. I never told her it was my birthday until the end of the night, but then I kinda snuck it into the conversation as we were leaving. At this point she went absolutely nuts at me (in a good way), and proceeded to fill my bag with snacks, completely ignoring my insists to not, between my laughs. It’s times like these that I cherish, and am thankful to have been a part of.
Although I miss her, I’m unbelievably grateful for the great times we had, and the positive impact she had on my life. She was someone I looked up to, showing care for others and always finding the humour in even the most frustrating of times. I try to reflect that now in my own day-to-day life, aiming to inspire and encourage others through their own challenges.
I’m not going to ask for anything (however you’re more than welcome to donate if you’d like), I’d just like to show my support towards the cause and respect for a friend.
