The YMCA Megathon taking place in the Greater Toronto Area from February 24th through March 1st dares people to take on a one-of-kind fitness challenge while also raising funds to support the YMCA and give more kids, teens, and adults the chance to exercise, stay healthy, play, find work, and have a community “third place”. My friend Estelle Havva, who can easily do more pushups than most people on demand, is taking on the superhero identity of Canadian Goddess, and will compete against Dianne “Pink Wonder Woman” Mowat for the title of Rowing Machine Champion. They’re also competing to see who will be Fundraising Champion, in memory of Erin McBride, a friend and strong supporter of the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

These are good people, and it’s a good cause — sponsor them! Go visit Estelle’s fundraising page.

And hey, if you’re in shape, or better still, would like to get into shape, you might want to take on a YMCA Megathon challenge!

And since when did we start naming winter storms?
