My name is Mario, and I am proud to say that I am in recovery from addiction. Fitness has played a huge role in my journey to sobriety and has been a cornerstone of my mental health. Through my local gym, I have built friendships with others who are also sober, and together we have created a strong support network that keeps us motivated and accountable.

Recently, I completed a course to become a drug and alcohol counselor, and I am passionate about helping others find hope and healing. Now, I want to take the next step by earning my Level 1 CrossFit certification. My goal is to use my training and personal experience to guide others—especially at-risk youth—toward recovery through fitness. I know firsthand how early struggles can lead to addiction, as my own journey began when I was just 12 years old.

With your support, I can pay for the CrossFit certification course and start making a real difference in my community. I believe that fitness can be a powerful tool for recovery, and I want to share that with others who are facing the same challenges I once did. Thank you for considering a donation to help me turn this dream into reality.
