Moline martial artist, Mike Holmes, is undertaking a fitness challenge to raise funds for children's charities, specifically focusing on supporting Bethany for Children & Families and the Mercado on Fifth's youth programs. Holmes, a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwondo, plans to complete 2,500 push-ups and 2,500 sit-ups over 25 days, starting on May 3, 2025. His goal is to raise $2,500, with all proceeds going directly to the charities. Holmes, who has been involved in martial arts for over 30 years, aims to inspire others to contribute to the community and support children in need.
