Josie's Road to 2016 NPC Nationals!
Donation protected
Hello All!
As many of you know, I will be competing at the 2016 NPC National Bodybuilding Championships in Miami, FL on 18-19 November to try to win my Pro Card
. This has been a dream of mine since 2009 and I'm FINALLY getting the courage to do it!
I used to spend hours staring at photos of competitors "wishing" that I could be like them one day. I've always struggled with inferiority, thinking "i'm not good enough to do this" or "I don't have what it takes to do this." Let me tell you, those are ALL WRONG! I want to inspire other women and even men to do the same. Change your thinking!! Believe in yourself and know that God has given you a dream in your heart for a reason! THAT is what this journey means to me. It's a long time dream of mine and guess what? I DO HAVE WHAT IT TAKES! Even if this dream is meant for me to meet other women so I can encourage them, inspire them, and build them up, then I will consider myself blessed to be able to do so!
Competing in bodybuilding competitions is NOT CHEAP. Especially at the National level! The registration for my NPC card and entry fee, plus hotel fees alone have already cost me $1,500. I still need to cover travel expenses to get to Miami, expenses for hair, makeup, spray tanning (which these 3 alone will cost an additional $300+), nails, jewelry, food, etc. Your donations would go towards the $1,500 already spent and additional costs that were listed above, as well as any unexpected fees that may come up.
I promise to all who donate, that I will continue pushing towards the finish line with all that I've got. Those who know me, esp in the gym, know that I work my butt off and I am very focused on what I am doing! I will not let your donations be for nothing!
Thank you so much to all who have taken the time to read, share, donate, and support my dream!!!
With much love,
Josie
