Join the FREE Murph Challenge at the Greater Wichita YMCA – open to members and non-members. 📅 Memorial Day (Monday, May 27) 📍 Andover YMCA & Northwest YMCA 🔗 Pre-registration encouraged by May 22: ymcawichita.org/murphchallenge The high-intensity global Murph Challenge is dedicated to Navy SEAL Lieutenant Michael P. Murphy, who made the ultimate sacrifice of his life to protect his SEAL team in Afghanistan in 2005. The Y is only 1 or 2 official sites in the state of Kansas! For families and others who are looking for a less intense experience, The Murph Challenge can be adapted to individual fitness levels by scaling movements or reducing volume. The important part is showing up, honoring the sacrifice of our military service members and challenging yourself at your own pace. Join us to push yourself with purpose this Memorial Day! (fb)

One day an empty field – the next a full-blown construction site with enough concrete in the pool footings alone to fill four football fields. Construction of the new Hutchinson YMCA facility is already setting records, with more to come! Hutchinson Y Branch Director David Foster is taking you "Behind the Fence" for an update on Week 19 of this buzz-worthy building project. Keep following for more dirt-moving details. (fb)
