It’s getting close to Halloween and the smell of pumpkins is in the air. OK, not really. But you know we will be seeing a ton of these veggies floating around through Thanksgiving. There’s even the Circleville Ohio Pumpkin Show happening later this month. The family event is a great time with lots of good eats and totally worth checking out if you live in and around Ohio.
But Jason Yun is doing something really creative. He’s a self-employed personal trainer who has come up with a fun idea to help raise money for the Make A Wish 
Foundation. The event is called Freaky Fat Loss Pumpkin Charity Workout and will take place on October 17th, the day before the Columbus Marathon and BETA launch of TweetMyTime.
The hook is pretty interesting – bring your own pumpkin and Jason will take the group through what looks like a pretty intense workout using only the vegetable as weight. Seems to me like a pretty cool idea for a fun and relevant workout during Halloween season. Jason has committed that ALL of the proceeds generated from the workout go directly to the Make a Wish Foundation. I’m down with Jason using his talents to help a worthy cause, and the fact that he’s smart enough to see the value in using social media to help spread the word and get people there. Jason even approached me on LinkedIn (the right way) to ask for my help.
Here’s a short clip of some of the exercises that Jason will be doing during the event.
So what say you? Are you in for a fun workout and helping Jason raise some money for the Make a Wish Foundation?
And if you’re not the “working out with a pumpkin type,” will you help get the word out in your communities?
