What is National Get Up Day?

On February 1st, National Get Up Day will bring inspiring tales of perseverance. The day reminds us to pick ourselves up after we've fallen and give it (whatever it is) a try.

When rinks around the country bring families together to experience skating's joys and benefits, the official end of National Skating Month (January) comes to an end. How to fall and get back up is one of the first lessons every figure skater learns. This day isn't just about skating, though. It's about the Get Up spirit, which can be applied to every facet of life. Through stories, photographs, videos, and social media, the day inspires others.

More importantly, February 1st reminds us all that we should get up when we stumble. We never know when our attempts to achieve a goal or overcome an obstacle will encourage another to do the same. Share your Get Up Story on National Get Up Day to inspire whether you're inspired on or off the ice, in a classroom, through a coworker, or in your own neighborhood.
