My name is Anthony, also known as Wolf. I’m a barber from Richmond, California with a mission that goes way beyond the shop: to train, grind, and run the 100m in 9.5 seconds—breaking barriers and chasing Olympic gold in 2028.
My Story
Over 20 years ago, I was told my athletic life was finished. I suffered from rhabdomyolysis, a condition that nearly left me paralyzed. My body broke down, my muscles couldn’t recover, and I was left barely able to move.
When I was in the hospital, the doctors told me flat out: “You will never be able to run again, and you will never lift 50 pounds again.”
I’ve already proved them wrong. Today, I run, I lift, and I train daily. Through discipline, therapy, nutrition, and sheer willpower, I rebuilt myself step by step. This journey is no longer about survival—it’s about chasing greatness.
The Records I’m Chasing
To become the oldest man to win Olympic gold in the 100m at age 42.
To be the first athlete from Richmond, California to bring home an Olympic medal.
To challenge and break Usain Bolt’s world record of 9.58 seconds.
This isn’t just about racing—it’s about rewriting history.
Why This GoFundMe
Chasing Olympic gold is expensive: gym memberships, food, supplements, recovery tools, shoes, training gear, and coaching all add up. My monthly costs run about $1,500, and that’s just the basics.
Where Funds Go
Food & Nutrition: ~$600/month
Supplements: ~$300/month
Gym & Recovery: ~$250/month
Shoes & Gear: ~$150/month
Other Essentials: ~$200/month
I’ve also created Amazon lists so you can see exactly what helps fuel my mission. Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/14SY62F0RXZXM?ref_=wl_share
You can donate here or send gear directly. Every bit matters.
The Wolf Pack
No one makes it to Olympic gold alone. Behind every great athlete is a team. I’m assembling a 25-person Wolf Pack of coaches, specialists, and supporters who will help me get to 9.5s and beyond.

Why I’m Sharing This
I’m putting this list out in the open because you never know who knows who. Maybe you have a friend who’s a massage therapist. Maybe your cousin works with a nutritionist. Maybe you know someone at a brand who wants to sponsor an underdog chasing history.
If you see a role here that you or someone you know could fill—reach out. You might be the missing link in the Wolf Pack.
My Bigger Mission
This journey isn’t only about me winning gold. It’s about showing people everywhere that your dreams are never lost. No matter the age, no matter the setback, no matter the roadblock—you can find a way forward if you want it bad enough.
I want to inspire others to chase their passions with relentless determination, to know that even after being told “never,” you can rise again and prove the impossible wrong.

I was once told I’d never recover, never run, never lift 50 pounds again. Now I’m not just recovered—I’m chasing history. With your support, Wolf is running free again, and this time, I’m running all the way to gold.
