She was followed by several handlers chanting her name,including one carrying a blaring boom box;<br \/>\n<LI>Howard Fox, M.D., Ph.D., professor in the department of pharmacology and experimental neurosciences, beautifully sported the UNMC secondary icon on his &#8220;guns&#8221; and cranked out 41 push-ups to kick the event off;<br \/>\n<LI>Thomas Hejkal, M.D., displayed an edition of a men&#8217;s health magazine with him on the cover baring his ripped physique (EDITOR&#8217;S NOTE: We&#8217;ll take his word for it that the magazine hadn&#8217;t been &#8216;doctored.&#8217; Doctored, get it, he&#8217;s a doctor &#8230; oh nevermind); and<br \/>\n<LI>Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance Don Leuenberger flipped his hat backwards before he dropped and knocked out 34 push ups.<\/UL> <\/p>\n<p>OK, a bit of commentary. <\/p>\n<p>This challenge was literally thrown together in a week. As both an observer and participant, to see the quick and powerful support it gathered from all parts of the campus and to see it turn into such a joyful and fun event was both a lot of fun and inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>I saw a lot of smiles in that atrium on Friday and the money raised will be put to good use by people who can be very helpful in Haiti. <\/p>\n<p>So congratulations UNMC, that was awesome!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow!
