Story

I claim to be a lot of things. Pick a day and my definition is different. My 46 year old self has been through many things. Gone from sure to unsure and back again down an impressive agonizing list. When my brother Miguel told us of Adelaide's diagnosis the trips from sure to unsure only increased and I can't even imagine what it was like for him and my sister Kelly. What I am sure of is that Adelaide was so loved by so many and that in and of itself impacted a whole community in making a difference. I am not sure if just I can make a difference but I witnessed a lady bug move others in to calls of action out of love that it gives me an incredible amount of hope. I love my family. Friends that are family and the countless others who are united by this cause. I love my beautiful niece Adelaide...

In her honor I will be doing a 24 hour AMRAP fundraiser

26 squats
26 calorie row/assault bike/200 meter run
26 situps
26 push ups
26 burpees
make modifications as needed keeping with the number 26
as many rounds of these exercises as possible in 24 hours.
9 AM on Saturday December 4th 2021 to 9 AM on Sunday December  5th 2021
Why 26 reps? 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime and this workout is to raise awareness and money to bring hope and love and support to those in the fight against epilepsy. Unfortunately we are not doing a public workout this year but are taking in person donations if you happen to be in the area. Come say hi and drop off some $$. I will update this post and the donation link throughout the next few days.
For my beautiful niece Adelaide...



Thank you to everyone who has supported our family and the love that has been shown and given is so appreciated.
