MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Va. – Tori Boyd, a Montgomery County Public Schools graduate and current Radford University Softball player, spent the summer getting stronger and giving back at the same time.
Boyd created a “Pushups for Public School” fundraiser on gofundme.
For every $1 donated, she recorded herself doing five pushups.
She had an initial goal of $500 but raised over $1,000 throughout the summer.
Boyd says all the money is being used for school supplies for teachers in MCPS.
“If you believe in something and you want to make a difference, I say go for it full force,” she said. “Try to get people on board with you, but you truly can make a difference.”
Boyd says she’s gotten a lot stronger from this challenge and hopes to do something similar again next summer.
