Yang's Troop Challenge This Weekend

You may be sick of the freezing weather this week. Well this weekend you can break the cold with some sweat. And help an injured veteran while you're at it.

Yang's Fitness will host their Second Annual Troop Challenge on Friday from 7 to 9 p.m. Area contenders will compete and raise money to build a home for injured veteran Army Sgt. Matt Dewitt of New Hampshire.  

This year there will be team competitions, so bring some friends to compete in jump rope, push-ups, abdominal in-and-outs, wall sit, pull-ups and backpack challenge.

Registration is $25 for individuals, $75 for teams and $25 for spectators. Proceeds will benefit Homes for Our Troops and will support the Run For Our Troops 5K in Andover on April 6.

Last year's event raised $2,400.
