BDHQ Fit Kids to help send Jordan to Nationals!

The purpose and mission of BDHQ's Fit Kids Bootcamp and Fit Family Bootcamps has been to implement the important message of health and fitness to kids and to encourage a positive attitude towards physical activity.

It's also never to early to teach your children about fundraising and helping those in need. BDHQ wants to do both, which is where Jordan Piercy comes in to the story.

Jordan's parents are long time BDHQ Bootcampers and have instilled these very lessons into their amazing daughter Jordan. She currently holds the Vancouver Island record for 300 meter hurdles and is top ranked in the province for 80 meter hurdles and 300 and 400 meter sprints as well as being part of the Top Bantam Female Athlete team on the Island. At just 14 years old, Jordan trains 12 months of the year and has won 2 bronze medals in the BC Games as well as a silver medal in this years High School Provincial Championships.

Jordan needs to raise $1000 - $1500 to attend Nationals in Ottawa, August 5 - 7. BDHQ wants to help her by donating all the money brought in by Fit Kids Bootcamp to Jordan. By teaching your kids that fitness can be FUN, you're also helping to send Jordan to Ottawa to kick some butt at Nationals!

The next Fit Kids Bootcamp is this Thursday night at 5:30pm at Rutledge Park. $5 drop-in for kids. A parent must attend regular Bootcamp at the same location.
MUST EMAIL bdhqkids@gmail.com in order for your child to attend.

Jordan volunteers with kids in sports and we'll be getting her out to help at Fit Kids Bootcamp and Fit Family very soon!!

If you would just like to donate to Jordan's cause, please call or come in the studio to donate.

Thanks for your help and thanks to Jordan for being such a great role model.

The adventures of Michele...

If you've been wondering where Michele has been lately, you might be surprised by the answer. Yes, she was in Arizona (her tan is killing me), but she has also been out spreading the good word of BDHQ!

Michele was recently invited to be a panelist at the Sales and Marketing Executives of Victoria’s June meeting at the Union Club. The full panel were local Victoria entrepreneurs from Cook Culture, Pizzeria Prima Strada, Only Human Furniture, Blue Bridge Theatre and of course, BDHQ. Members attending got to pick the panels brain on business and marketing practices and what inspires them to be in business. Not hard to be inspired daily by the best clients around who constantly shock and amaze us with their awesomeness.

Michele was by far the liveliest of the panel. Ya, surprise, surprise! She had the whole crowd laughing immedietely. If everyone wasn't in suits and heels, she would have had them all working out right there on the spot.

Way to go Michele! You rock.
