On May 22, the Vail Veterans Program will be honoring the life and service of Christopher “Bubba” Rush with a partner workout at CrossTraining Fitness of Vail.
A GoFundMe account has been set up for the workout, “Bubba’s Memorial Workout,”
, which provides injured military and their families with innovative and transformational programs that build confidence and improve lives.
“The workout has been designed to highlight Chris’ years of service (also the highest daily veteran suicide rate), date of death, number of deployments and date of birth,” the GoFundMe site says. “It will be a partner workout to highlight the fact that we need one another in times of hardship and can’t go it alone. The workout is written below and can be modified as needed and is designed as an ’I Go, You Go,’ so partners can complete the repetitions as a team.
