Goal With A Purpose 2

FIVE High-Energy Sports. One Day. Hello 65!

A Fundraiser for The Wounded Warrior Project and Wish of a Lifetime

Saturday, February 8th 2025

The five high-energy extreme sports I’ll do in one day:

Surfing

Gymnastics

Skateboarding

Water Skiing

Snow Skiing

My Goal

Hello, my name is Roger Staggs. When I turned fifty, I accomplished a lifetime goal of doing four of my favorite sports: surfing, water skiing, skateboarding, and snow skiing, all in one day. It was an incredibly rewarding and humbling experience - one I’ll never forget!

Of course, as you get older, your goals change, right? So, as I approach my 65th birthday I am going to change this goal up a bit by adding another sport 💪. My favorite sport is gymnastics, which I competed in at a high level in high school and college. So why not add it to my crazy day? It makes sense, doesn’t it? Well, not according to my wife, but that is another story.

So that is my goal. Soon after I turn 65, I will attempt to do five extreme/high-energy sports all in one day.  

Sounds like a blast!

My Purpose

My goal has a purpose, which is what it’s all about. Combining a meaningful purpose with my goal enhances its significance and it doesn’t get any better than that.

My purpose will be to create as much awareness and bring in as many donations as I can for two very worthwhile charities.

You will have the option of supporting The Wounded Warrior Project, whose mission is to honor and empower wounded warriors. Or, Wish of a Lifetime (part of AARP), whose mission is to spark hope and joy in the hearts of older adults by fulfilling their dreams. I am very proud to be a part of both of these important organizations.
