Clean water is a cool commodity in the U.S. and the world.  It is the one thing we cannot live without (as the show Naked and Afraid on Discovery Channel has demo-ed time and time again).  Surge for Water, seeks to make clean water accessible for all.  Helping over 204,000 people in 11 countries, Surge donates 100% of their funds to their cause.

So burpees, you ask, what do they have to do with saving a life?  Sometimes burpees make you want a super hero to come save you!  Well, every whole body strengthening burpees you do at the Surge & ENRGi Fitness The Burpee Challenge to Save Lives could make a dollar to halt poverty.
