"During COVID-19, I became a Ninja Warrior to bond with my daughter. We started by watching the show together, tried an open gym and I applied to compete. After one rejection, I made it on my second try. Now I've been on the show twice." - Dr. Steven Bachta, Pediatric Hospitalist An endeavor is a meaningful pursuit - something that inspires us in moments big and small. Whether it's achieving a personal goal, helping your community, or keeping you and your family healthy, we want to hear about yours. Share yours today: https://bit.ly/3Cx6qTq
