Cheering one another on and sharing conversation to pass the time, four women and one man raised money for St. Jude Children's Hospital on Saturday at Riverside's Ladies Workout Express through the Ab Crunch Challenge.
The participants did not stop even to catch a small breath in the hour-long challenge as they held up their end of the nation-wide fundraiser. Supportive friends and family held "clickers" to count the crunches, which reached more than 2,000 crunches for some participants.
