Dawna-Strong!
Dawna Chartrand is a super-fit person who also happens to be stronger than your average bear! She just got the official invite to the SCC (Strongman Corporation Canada) Nationals this October! She is a bit nervous but excited that she is getting this opportunity after just a year of ‘Strongman’ training!
Dawna has to be psyched for this October 11-13th event that will be held in Moncton this year. She has converted her home and backyard into an elite training facility! She even has those huge Atlas Stones, kegs and tires she will be hoisting and flipping this fall! You go, Dawna!
