Endurance and altruism combined over the weekend as athletes from Back Alley Cross Fit Gym pushed their physical limits for a worthwhile cause, engaging in a 24-hour row-a-thon to raise funds for Camp Patrick, a sanctuary where children with disabilities can experience the joys of a cost-free summer camp. Larry, Stacy, Joff, and Sam, who utilized their rowing machines from Saturday into Sunday, were buoyed by video cheers from the very campers who will benefit from the proceeds, according to a report from azfamily.com. The event, live-streamed to encourage donations, guarantees some joyous summer escapades for the children this upcoming June in Payson.
