Ronnie's Skin Removal Base Costs
Donation protected
WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE?
Watch the attached video!!! Please help me as I am trying to help Ronnie! Ronnie needs skin removal surgery for the 40 to 50 pounds of skin he's carrying around from his dramatic weight loss from 675 lbs to 250 lbs; a total weight loss of 425lbs. He needs 3 surgeries that will likely be in excess of $40,000 with surgerical expenses and related travel.
It's taken Ronnie a lot of courage to show his excess skin but it is important for everyone to know what he is going through and that he needs our help...
After Ronnie recovers from the 3 seperate surgeries with the amazing surgeon, Dr. Hurwitz , he will be studying to become a personal trainer and plans to start a business and a training program with Nick and Jill of Mission Fitness in order to help other morbidly obese people.
Nick and Jill do not own a gym and the current rental space they utilize has limitations. If there are excess funds, Ronnie will use the funds to open and operate a gym with them to better help other morbidly obese
individuals. Ronnie sees this potential contribution to the gym as a "thank you" to Nick and Jill for donating all of their time to him over the last two years, for no fees whatsoever!!! More importantly, he realizes they saved his life. PLEASE DONATE! ANY LITTLE BIT CAN HELP!!!
RONNIE'S AMAZING STORY
Many of you know about Ronnie's dramatic and inspiring weight loss journey from his viral YouTube Video or the related news coverage that followed. For those of you who don't, two years ago, at the age of 28, Ronnie weighed 675 lbs. and was told by his doctor that if he didn't change his life, he'd die before he turned 30.
Through the the help of his friend Gina, Ronnie connected with Mission Fitness trainers and life coaches, Nick Murphy and Jill Rupert.
Nick and Jill knew they had the formula for success but Ronnie needed to make that personal committment. HE DID!!!
Day in, day out, Nick and Jill donated their time to teach Ronnie healthy living, good choices, physically trained him and rewired Ronnie's thinking. They taught him the benefits of the ketogenic diet and how to exercise. Day in, day out, Ronnie responded with hardwork and dedication along with his charismatic smile!
Unable to leave his house due to his morbid obesity, they first trained him at home using a handbike, weights and calisthenics. After losing 100 pounds, he was able to begin going to the gym. The whole process has been documented and can be viewed on Ronnie's weight loss "600 lbs to Success" Facebook page here: 600 lbs to Success Facebook page
Over 700 days later, Ronnie reached his goal weight of 250 lbs! What remains is the 40-50 lbs of skin that he has left which cannot be lost through diet and exercise.
Please help me help Ronnie and donate here. I am Ronnie's friend and former high school teacher. I have been inspired by Ronnie's dedication and genuinness. I hope you have been, too!
As an aside, all of Ronnie's hardwork and self love has also enabled him to find the love of another. Ronnie and his girlfriend, Andrea, have been dating now for several months. Andrea comes from a great family and has been a lovely addition to Ronnie's healthy team! They are excited for what the future has in store for them after Ronnie's 3 surgeries. Here's a picture of them enjoying the Taylor Swift concert we went to in Cleveland.
And for those of you who are wondering, no, unfortunately we never heard from Taylor but we still had an amazing time at her concert and he has so much to be grateful for!
