—Journey to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs and the Buffalo Seneca-Babcock Community Center —

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – On Friday, July 29, 2011, three lifelong friends will complete the bike ride they started 25 years ago, but never got to finish together. The ride, titled “Heroes for Kids™ Bike-a-thon 2011,” is a 2,352-mile journey from Seguin, Texas to Buffalo, N.Y., that will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs (BGC), including the Geneva, N.Y. chapter, as well as the Seneca Babcock Community Center in Buffalo, N.Y. The purpose of this ride is to teach youth about finishing what they start and to increase awareness and funds for organizations such as the BGC and the Seneca Babcock Community Center, that provide services and programs to underprivileged youth. 

Marine Functional Force Training, developed locally by Steven Helmicki of East Aurora, president of Primordial Strength Inc., is featured in the December issue of MILO: A Journal For Serious Strength Athletes. Former Lancaster resident Len Kuhn, now manager of Area 4 Gym at Camp Lejune, a Marine Corps military training facility in North Carolina, is photographed in the feature.

Primordial’s Marine Functional Force Training program was specially created to meet the needs of our fighting men and women who train at Area 4. Helmicki’s curriculum is a National Association of Sports Medicine and Coopers Institute approved course and can be used to set up authentic boot camp/military-style training in homes, gyms, corporations, schools or hospitals.
