- Health & Fitness
Today Carrie Millerller and I welcome 1/6 of the Berens children to the latest On Pace Podcast as On Pace Run Coaching, LLC client Maggie Berens who was our guest in the second week of this series is back along with her brother, Charlie Berens.
I'll paraphrase the story as best I can: a few years back, Charlie and a buddy or two decided to throw one of his dad's old hunting jackets on Charlie and pay tribute to some characteristics of a hard core Wisconsinite. They filmed a video, thought maybe a few people might get a kick out of the Manitowoc Minute and lo and beyond, a few years later he has over a million followers and is a household name around these parts.
Beyond being hilarious, Charlie's driven to give back. One of the Manitowoc Minute's consistent charitable channels over time has been veterans and active military and with this weekend's final race in the Happy Space. Virtual Race Series, we travel to Dubuque, Iowa where we partake in Run4Troops. Started over a decade ago by the Hodge family, this race takes all profits and contributes them right back to those in the armed forces, last year generating over $50,000.
Whatever we collect this week will go to the VFW of Wisconsin and we appreciate the chance to Keep 'er Movin to our finish line with Charlie and Maggie today.
