Hudson's Hope: Cancer Fight and Comeback

Hi my name is Hudson walker, I am a 17 year old man. About 2 years ago I started my dream of bodybuilding and as the years have gone by it has become more than a dream, it has become my life. My goal is to become Mr Olympia and I will not stop to become that. I will be someone who shows people that you can become anything and overcome anything if you stay positive and put in the work, but sometimes life hits you hard. I was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer, in my knee. I will have to go through 9 months of chemotherapy, and surgery on my knee. The treatments I have to get are going to ruin my body, and even have lasting side effects when I make it through this. This is just a step I need to overcome so I can become who I need to be, and live for the people I love. I have amazing people by my side like my loving girlfriend, who I wish to marry one day. We have been together for a year now. I know she is the love of my life, and I have never met anyone more perfect for me. She is one of my biggest supporters overall. Her family has helped me so much as well. They are allowing her to stay with me, and she is going to be taking care of me through chemo and my surgery. The day that I found out I had cancer her father immediately took her to come see me, they had driven 3 hours from Fayetteville to Rock Hill and back. I know she will make this an easy 9 months. I made a promise that I will get through this and that I will get on one knee and make her my wife. My parents are also my biggest supporters. Both of my parents have always supported me through my bodybuilding even though it has put a lot of stress on them. Now that I cannot work it has definitely put more of a strain on them both. They are both amazing people who will be with me through this whole thing and more. This is going to be one of the most difficult things I will ever have to go through, and it would be amazing to have your help and support as well.

I have worked very hard for this and I know that I will lose most of my progress that I have made in my bodybuilding career, but I will make the biggest comeback and tell my story on stage when I win!
