Half the man I used to be
Donation protected
My name is Mike. I started my fitness journey in November 2013 at 650 lbs. Through the efforts of some walking on my own, and a year of working hard at Hardcore Fitness, I'm down to 364 lbs as of March 18th 2017. (161 in the last 14 months with Hardcore Fitness).
Im currently trying to dig myself out of a hole that I have dug myself into professionally as much as the one I did physically and working hard on getting a job to grind my way up to my new goals and dreams.
It's hard on me to afford the gym, but this place isnt just a gym to me. It's a family and its my stability. It has reduced my anxiety and depression episodes down drastically. Having a place to spend every week night lifting and helping people 4 hours a night has been truly an amazing experience. It's not only saved my life, but I've learned a lot about how to be a complete person. I dont feel like im merily surviving anymore. I'm living.
It's Hard for me to ask for help, but I would really appreciate any help I can get to keep going to this gym and continue my journey.
The money I have asked for will be used to buy a year at hardcore fitness. This community has given me so much, and I will be so grateful to have the opportunity not just to lift at the gym, but to spend my time learning, and helping anyone I can.
