Send Holly to Worlds

Donation protected
Everyone knows Holly but let's learn a bit more about her and her story. 

Holly started seriously lifting weights in 2015. Unaware at that time the self healing journey it was about to take her on. She competed in her first strongman show February of 2016 and was hooked. She had a dream of winning Nationals one day as a Lightweight and if lucky, maybe even Worlds. Big dreams for a small town girl. 

Holly is a single mom of 2. She trains 6 days a week. As some of you are aware Holly has been helping me train. I initially knew that she trained 6 days a week, but doing it myself I understand the hard work and dedication it takes, even now I still have absolutely no idea how she does it all. She also runs a local cleaning business UhaveitMAID. In the last 3 years she has become a credited Personal Trainer(Ranked Gold in Thunder Bay) training out of UNDIVIDED, A Strength and Conditioning Coach, A Nutrition Coach and is currently taking her Corrective Exercise Specialist Course. 

Holly always puts her kids first financially and is trying to bounce back from lockdown after lockdown, which hit her very hard. I want to help her make her dream come true. 

Holly is the Canadian LW National Champion 2019 & 2020 where she earned her PRO Status. She currently holds the Canadian LW Pro Log Record, the Canadian LW Circus Dumbbell Record and the World U137lb 18inch Axel Deadlift Record. 

Holly has also qualified for the Official Strongman Games (World's Strongest Woman U64kg) November 2021, Strongest Women in Canada (December 2021) and The Arnold (March 2022). 

OSG U64 World's Strongest Woman is being held in Daytona Flordia this year and that is a costly trip. Holly doesn't know I have done this. So if we can try an avoiding her knowing that would be greatly appreciated. Any little bit a person can do it would mean the world to her and be helpful to get her there. Even just sharing it. Share it with friends, buisnesses, family, etc. Let's give back to someone who gives us all everything she can. 

Her dream of competing at Worlds, no longer has to be a dream. She is putting every part of herself into this competition prep and she deserves this. As a community, we can stand by this athlete.
