• This is where it's all going to start on Sunday July 4th, 2021.  Texas is the place I came up with this exciting adventure idea, and I look forward to getting started in the Great State of Texas.

I grew up within Bike riding distance of the border of Wisconsin and  the wonderful State of Illinois. I'll be here on Tuesday July 20th, 2021 to do my pushups in front of good ole honest Abe. What an honor! 

This photo was taken on July 2nd, 1996 in Taszar Hungary. From Left to Right is 3 Star Lieutenant General John Abrams, Specialist Darren Hafford, 4 Star General George Joulwan, and 4 Star General William Crouch. The military gave me a sense of pride and honor while serving. I want to remind people and fellow veterans how great this nation really is.  It's been a tough year for all of us, and I'm hoping by doing these pushups, it'll make us all feel a little bit better.  Please push with me, and we'll all grow stronger together.

Darren Hafford served 4 Years Active Duty in the United States Marine Corps, and 6 Years in the Wisconsin Army National Guard deploying to Hungary to Support Operation Joint Endeavor in 1996-1997, and to Honduras to cover the rebuilding effort after Hurricane Mitch in 1999.
