My 68th Birthday Wish

Marko's birthday wish, including the official challenge to Mark Zuckerberg. Watch it, share it, and help get it seen.

The proposal

Skin in the game.

Our country is going through a rough and polarizing time. Marko thinks a Fight to Unite, a charity fundraiser exhibition, is just what it needs to heal.

He believes stepping into the ring would serve as bona fide proof of the true worth of his patented invention. And to show he's serious, he'd bet his labor of love, the machine that has consumed 34 of his 68 years.

His training camp? A ClimbROCKER and a heavy bag. His secret weapon? A long, piston-like jab his late father taught him back in 1969.

68

Years young

No prescriptions, no pain, in the best cardio condition of his life.

80"

Reach

Lanky, long-limbed, and hungry with something to prove.

Flywheels

The total-body cardio machine behind his conditioning.

For charity

An exhibition to raise money, and maybe a few spirits.

"It does not hurt to try. At the very worst? I got in the best cardio condition of my life at age 68. Okay! That is fine by me."Marko Hansen
