There, very simple to join . Hope you can read this carefully and follow what you have to so we'll be fair to everyone. But don't forget to enjoy and have fun as well. Again, thank you to everyone who has been supporting #UP-GAGE CHALLENGE since round 1. I really appreciate all the efforts. I cannot tell until when i would have the delegation, but i hope even without that i can still run this challenge. But i should say, yeah sure I can, but the delegation has been a big help of course and i am so grateful for it. Again, let's keep steeming guys, like what i said will get tired ... but will never quit! Continue fighting and smile to the world!
