Help Patrick with everyday needs
Donation protected
This fund helps pays for Patrick's transportation/ gas/ driver for months. Because of his Cerebral Palsy he needs assistants 24 hours a day. This also pays for his food. The number looks high, but when you look at today's cost of living it's just the bare essentials of Patrick's needs.
He doesn't collect fron the Goverment and needs this help to keep training.
His Bio:
A mistake at birth left me with Cerebral Palsy, When I was born the doctor that was on duty that night didn't follow the x-rays that were in my mother's file and went ahead and did the procedure his own way. Instead of delivering me by C section he pulled me with forceps and just tossed me in a basket and left me on the floor not breathing while he tried to stop my mother from bleeding. During the time I spent without oxygen, I developed Cerebral Palsy. After my birth the doctors said to put me in an institution where I could die and they wouldn't be bothered with what they did to my mom and me. Why I got into bodybuilding? I started therapy when I was 11/2 years old, trunk, abs, legs and neck, just so I could hold my head up and crawl. I grew up with 80's movies; Rocky, Rambo, Arnold, etc. And every time I'd watch one I'd think to myself, "I want to look like that." When I was around 6 years old there was a T.V. show called The Incredible Hulk. I used to watch it every week and I found out that the actor who played the hulk had a handicap so I figured if he could get that big I could too, He's deaf! Then when I was 11 I saw Conan the Barbarian on its opening day and after that I always wanted to be a bodybuilder. I would go hit the weights after watching a movie. What made me want to become a Wheelchair Bodybuilder? At first I thought maybe wheelchair Olympics might have something, then I bought a Muscle Mag magazine, So, I see this picture of a guy from India, he was obviously handicapped but ripped and he's asking where he could compete. The writer told him about Frank Dalto, gave his number, so I called Frank and after 7 years I competed. What motivates me and how I started? I was looking at shows in 2004 and seen the New Orleans one in July, it was march, in my mind I seen a road with a fork in it, one way to compete, the other not to, once I picked to compete, I stuck to it, no quitting. I try to learn something new at every show, diet, posing, just anything. After 9 years I'm still at it.
Patrick has completed his course to be an ISSA Personal trainer, continues to write children's books and do art work- making posters. So he is trying his best!
In the past 3 years his independence has increased, he wakes up in the morning before anyone, takes his vitamins and does cardio, he shaves and showers himself.
