The 38 Challenge

Today we remember the life of Captain Matthew Brewer.

It is 5 years since we lost Captain Brewer to “the perfect storm.”

The perfect storm is an insidious combination of Brain Injuries, Trauma, Transition and Identity Loss.

Captain Brewer was a decorated Marine Corps Officer, USNA two year starting linebacker and Heavy Weight boxing champion.

He was referred to as “Captain America of the Marine Corps” and as having the “it factor” by his superiors. He was loved, feared and respected by all who knew him.

To help us honor Matt today, we ask :
1. Complete your version of The 38 Challenge workout, found at our website.
2. Check in on your homies and loved ones. Make sure they know you love them, are there from them and don’t shy away from uncomfortable mental health conversations.

Together, we will defeat the Stigma and go to war against the mental health epidemic.

This is who we do it for.
