-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.
