2024 PUC Special Shout Outs
2024 Shout Outs! This was a year full of incredible journeys!
YOU put the work in. YOU dedicated your self. YOU Owned Your Life. Being picked as a champion is a very small part of this challenge. Making through to the end and feeling better than ever before is the real victory.
Remember, the Positively Unstoppable Challenge is all about, physical AND mental transformations that change lives! The work you put in isn’t for anyone else but YOU!
If you made it through the Challenge and put the work in then we are incredibly proud of you. But, more importantly, YOU should be proud of YOURSELF!
