Not sure if you guys know about the GMU Cancer charity event that happened recently. Half of the money went to Aldo (A G guy whose daughter got cancer). The other half was supposed to go to this hospital but the hospital never received any money. Shady! Shady!

I think the car clubs that held the event are trying to figure out where the money went and who is responsible. It's gonna get real ugly real quick...

There is no official timing of the event soo its all estimations.

Yes I agree!! Our main thing was to make sure we all finished!

The temps never got above 48 so the water obstacles were shockingly cold. Allot of the event was spent shivering lol

Keep moving and stay warm. Stay still and risk hypothermia. I was always taught that being cold can be one of the best motivators for someone physically. I see you've tested that theory. lol
