Good Morning and Happy Monday to you all :) 

I just wanted to let you know about some important dates to mark in your calendars. 

The first is Sunday, October 11th through Tuesday, October 13th. This is the Sunday through Tuesday of Fall Break.

The second is Friday, October 23rd. We will be going to the Washington Farms Corn Maze in Bogart, GA. :)

[GT Navs] Fwd: Bone Marrow Search

Begin forwarded message:

Subject: Bone Marrow Search

Date: April 8, 2015 at 7:41:07 PM EDT

To: Chad Wesley Spalinger <chad.spalinger@gatech.edu>

From: "Norris, Samuel A" <samuel.norris@gatech.edu>

Chad,

I just got the following message on Theta Xi's email list. I was wondering if you could forward this to the Navigators list. If anyone thinks they know of a match or would like to be tested Saturday or another time, please let me know. I have removed the names from the message.

"A friend of one of our alumni has been diagnosed with metastatic hepatosplenic non-hodgkins lymphoma. It's a rare cancer and he only has months to live unless they can find a match for a bone marrow transplant. He is only 44 years old and has 2 kids. It's a tragic situation. There will be an event this Saturday with a silent auction, live music and free beer and wine for those of age. We will be swabbing attendees to try to find a match. I realize it's short notice. I really need your help reaching out to a small community.
The man's ancestry is from Haiti and Ghana. Finding a match will be difficult. If we know anyone of that descent please put me in contact  with them. If anyone is in contact with churches that have high memberships of those ethnicities please give them my contact information. Please reach out to the African American Greek community at Tech on my behalf."

Finding a donor match can be difficult. Please let me know if you can be of assistance.

Thanks,

Sam Norris

Begin forwarded message:

Date: February 20, 2015 at 2:40:18 PM EST

From: "Varghese, Jordan J" <jordanvarghese@gatech.edu>

To: "Spalinger,Chad Wesley" <chad.spalinger@gatech.edu>

Subject: 3000 13 Resources

3000 13 Challengers,

Good evening, sisters and brothers! I hope that today already has you with sore arms and a heart filled with the Word. As we're embarking on this journey as a family, I'd like to encourage everyone and provide some resources to help out. To make it through this we really need to keep each other accountable and stick to it! I've attached some resources that I hope will be helpful in both the physical and spiritual aspects of this challenge.

PSA from the pre-med in me: Though we joke and get hyped about it, this truly isn't a simple or even necessarily safe task. Remember, pushing yourself in exercise (and in life) is how you grow, but you have to KNOW YOUR LIMITS! If you are feeling pain or discomfort that is unreasonable, please STOP and don't hurt yourself. The last thing we want is someone leaving this experience with a long-term injury. Remember that the real heart behind this is the spiritual training, and that has value in this life and the next.

Some quick math for how to break down the pushups (all approximations):
3000 in 14 days = 215 daily = 44 sets of 5, 22 sets of 10, 15 sets of 15, 11 sets of 20, 9 sets of 25, etc.
3000 in 12 days (2 days off) = 250 daily = 50 sets of 5, 25 sets of 10, 17 sets of 15, 13 sets of 20, 10 sets of 25, etc.

For the verses, I really like the advice in that resource that I've attached. In summary, first read the verse (with reference) 10 times out loud and slowly, pretending like you're taking a picture of each word with your eyes. Next, read the verse (with reference always) out loud 10 times without looking, but double checking to make sure that you're not making mistakes. That should be it for that day, but the biggest step is to keep up with what you've memorized. So the next day, start out with trying to do the old verse from yesterday 10 times from memory, checking when you need to make sure you're doing it properly. The days after, make sure you do all the verses you've learned already at least once by heart. In this way, by the end you'll have all of them down and be able to recite them all from memory in just 2 weeks!  This method should make it only about 10-20 minutes a day to get all the verses down. Most importantly, pray for the Holy Spirit to really give you the strength to do this and keep up with it.

Okay, I know this was an information overload, but wanted to get out as lots of resources to help us start this strong.
Lastly, if you want some extra intensity/variety in pushups:

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or anyone that has been involved in past years; I really want everyone who undertakes this to finish it well!

Keep up the hard work,
Jordan
