Navy SEAL Commander (Retired) Mark Divine is more than halfway to his goal of doing 100,000 burpees in 2018 for Burpees for Vets, a program designed to fundraise to support with with our vets that are struggling with PTS and especially those who may be suicidal.

Divine's program was the spark for the a 30-day Spartan Burpees for Vets Challenge and we had more than 500 join in. The challengers have been wrapping up a lot of burpees (from 1000 to 10,000 each, in general). He talked about it with Spartan CEO Joe De Sena on the Spartan Up podcast.

This was a video sent to the Spartans in the challenge: A message of congrats and an invite to join Burpee for Vets.
