AWESOME Story

I got this email today, and just had to share:

hey wiggy

today i got all the stuff to make a sandbag. later this week i will use it to work out with a kid i am mentoring (kind of like a big brother, big sister program we have in jacksonville, fl). the point is that you making that available to me for free("how to make a sandbag") is not only a blessing in my life, it is a blessing in that kid's life.

he is in some group home right now (long story, i wont go into detail but it was court ordered for the time being and i'll leave it at that). kid dreams about making his 9th grade football team. he is from the hood (in other words no money) but thanks to sites like yours, i am gonna be able to teach and educate my kid about how to get into phenomenal shape without having any money.

long story short, you RULE!!!! i love your site and i'm tryin to spread the love homie!!! =-)

many blessings to you brother.

I love getting emails like this - where folks decide they want to make a change in their life, and they go out and do it.

This just goes to show what can be done if you have the desire. You don't need fancy gyms or expensive equipment. You just have to have the desire to get better, and the work ethic to make it happen.

What's even better about this story is that Blake is unselfishly helping others. By putting in the work himself, he's helping kids achieve their dreams - and ones that might not otherwise get a chance.

Kudos to you Blake - keep kicking ass and taking names. Be sure to let us all know when the boy you're training makes the team, and how well he does!!
