Just wanted to say thanks for inspiring me. Youre journey was the single most motivating factor in me wanting to better myself through bodybuilding and weight training. By better understanding who we are we are more capable of becoming better individuals. You're journey helped me to realize that. We all have a purpose in this world and a reason for being here. Thank Thank you for helping me realize mine. You're sacrifices and accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. You're road back should become stuff of legends. Getting a second chance at anything is something not everyone gets to experience. Thank you for what you've done and for what you will do.
I just got done reading your journey... well the one online at least... I know there's a book too... I will be buying this as well...
Reading what you put up with (big red and his partner, bullies, naysayers, etc) I'm with you on these... I didn't grow up exactly the same way but I've had my fair share of being the fat kid and picked on...
Back to the point... After reading all of that... you are now my inspiration to show the world what I'm capable of... One day when you step out on that stage... I'll be there... I'll be that new gun and it will be a honor just to shake your hand.
