-Today’s episode is joined by Loy Donaldson and Alex Othmer.
–Alex Othmer is an O2X Lead Instructor, graduate of the United States Merchant Marine Academy, and former U.S. Navy SEAL. Currently, he is the Co-founder and Executive Director of Guardian Revival, a 501(c)(3) Not-for-profit Organization chartered to support first responders and veterans.
-Loy Donaldson is a firefighter with Anchorage (AK) Fire Department, a CrossFit athlete, and former Teaching Assistant for children with special needs.
-In May of 2020, as of way to encourage fitness during the COVID pandemic, O2X’s 1% Run Challenge was developed. Loy was one of 220+ runners to sign up for the 1% Run Challenge – committing to run 1 mile a day until the challenge’s completion. Now, after 1500 consecutive days, Loy is one of 24 remaining runners still actively participating in the run challenge – completing all of his runs in the state of Alaska.
-In September, Guardian Revival is kicking off their 3rd annual ‘1 Mile Challenge’. Similar to O2X’s Run Challenge, Guardian Revival is encouraging participants to walk or run one mile a day throughout the month of September in an effort to raise funds & awareness to reduce veteran & first responder suicide.
-Tune into this conversation to hear Loy’s story, find out his keys to success, and learn more about Guardian Revival’s impact on the tactical population.
