Hey! My name is Derek Summers. Fitness has been a huge part of my life for a long time now. I’m active almost every single day and I’m a proud CrossFit coach. But For as long as I can remember I’ve had a goal to compete in the sport of powerlifting! So I finally took the leap; I hired a coach, worked hard for 12 months, and stepped on to the platform.

… turns out, I really love it!

My first 2 meets went very well! This put me in position to compete at the Provincial Championship in November. The problem is that it’s a big financial burden to place on my family in such a short amount of time.

I’ve always taught my kids to work hard for what you want and not to be afraid to ask for help when needed, So here I am practicing what I preach. I’m hoping to raise funds to help cover the cost of the travel and competition in Hamilton.

Your donation would not be without return, as every $2 raised will equal 1 burpee that I will complete! These burpees will be done in a single day (post-competition) and will be filmed and posted to Instagram and Facebook!

If you’ve made it this far and you’re still reading, thanks for contributing to my burpee-suffering, and for helping make my Provincials Competition dream a reality.
