I’ve always believed that if you pour enough heart, sweat, and discipline into a goal, the world has a way of opening doors for you. This year, those doors didn't just open—they blew off the hinges. My life lately has been defined by two things: the barbell and the person I love, and I am trying to give my absolute all to both.

After years of early mornings and pushing past every limit I thought I had, I’ve reached a milestone I once only dreamed of. My 2026 season is the most ambitious one yet; I am currently training to compete in the CrossFit Semifinals and have officially qualified for a team spot in the World Fitness Project, with our first international stop in London! This season represents the culmination of every sacrifice I’ve made in the gym, but it’s also the year I am getting married.

While my heart is full, the reality of a full competition season—registration fees, gear, and international travel—on top of planning a wedding is a massive weight to carry. I want more than anything to stand on those competition floors knowing I gave it my all without the stress of the costs holding me back. If you feel led to be a part of this journey with me, I am running this fundraiser to help cover my competition and travel expenses for the entire year. Any direct support you can offer through this page truly means the world to me and keeps me moving toward that finish line.

I also know that it’s nice to get something back for your generosity, so I’ve partnered with the team at Thiccboi to design a special fundraiser shirt. If you would rather support the cause by grabbing some fresh gear for your own workouts instead of a direct donation, you can check out the design and order yours here at https://thiccboi.fit/product/thiccboi-spencer-carl-fundraiser-unisex-tshirt/.

Thank you for believing in me, for cheering me on through the heavy sets, and for helping me make 2026 a year I will tell my grandkids about.
