Iron Spikes and members of Texas Spirits teamed up and volunteered at the Special Olympics Texas Fire Truck Pull, hosted by Austin Firefighters, Austin Police Department and Travis County Sheriff's Office, on Saturday, November 12th.
The fundraising event featured a challenge of strength and stamina, in which teams of 12 people competed to see how fast they could pull a 55,000 pound fire truck a distance of 50 feet! Our team was comprised of the following people:
Matt Bowman
Nishant Jayant
Blake Barber
Chase Cobb
Tyler Joseph
Neven Simpson (Texas Spirits)
Ethan Thomson
Ryan Wilhelms
Rich Miller
Jon Lugo
Jackson Gould
Will Lenoir
Our team was able to pull the fire truck 50 feet in 17.46 seconds! Other members of Spikes and Spirits also helped out by cooking and serving chicken fajitas for all of the teams and SOTX volunteers. It was an exciting and rewarding experience for all involved!
