Donation protected
Ultraman Florida Fundraiser/Campaign
Help Mansur achieve his goal of successfully completing the Ultraman event. Participants swim 6.2 miles, bike 261.4 miles, and run 52.4 miles. Only 40 people from around the world are chosen to participate in this event. These 40 participants have shown great and outstanding athletic performance in the last three years. Mansur will be representing the entire Mid-Atlantic region.
This invitation-only event is for those athletes who have shown exemplary talents. Mansur has a record of accomplishment in Washington, DC in working with clients to ensure that they meet and exceed their fitness goals. Mansur has developed a reputation in Washington as a trainer, coach, athlete(Ironman 140.6 mile Triathlete Finisher, Ultra Marathon 50 mile Run Finisher, 400 mile Puerto Rico Cycle Ride Finisher), and fitness mentor whose goal is to promote health and wellness to area residents.
Mansur views his work in fitness and health as his life’s mission. This mission began years ago when he struggled with his weight and low-level of fitness. Working 50+ hours in the insurance industry after college, Mansur didn't make time for his Health & Fitness and gained enormous amount of weight. Mansur's 2004 visit to the doctors was a pivotal event that caused him to transform his body and make health & fitness his priority number one. Being obese inspired Mansur to change his body & mind and to become a personal trainer and ultimately empower others to embrace a healthy lifestyle.
Growing up in Section (8) housing he saw the results of poor health that came from a lack of safe spaces to play and exercise. He engaged in the local art scene and worked with other urban artist to create graffiti art and designs. Art was a creative outlet in his youth but as he worked to improve his health and wellness, he became more engaged in exercise and nutrition.
His interest in fitness and health propelled him to lose weight and change his eating habits. He has given back to his community by engaging school-age children in local DC schools in exercise demonstrations and fitness activities in their school settings. He plans to continue these activities and giving back to his community. Mansur will be donating a minimum of 10% or more(the surplus of the event's expenses) of the goal raised funds to his favorite charity in the fight for obesity education, prevention, advocacy, and support.
The opportunity to participate in the Florida Ultraman will allow Mansur to move closer to his goal of gaining the respect and validation of the health and fitness community. This opportunity will give him the chance to earn recognition as an athlete who through hard work and persistence has achieved a goal of athleticism and fitness.
Leading by example is important for Mansur. Please support Mansur and his goals. Your support will help him give back to a healthy cause/charity and to gain recognition that will cement his reputation in the Washington, DC community as a fitness leader and health guru. www.ultramanflorida.com
