I am a FIGHTER. I am a SURVIVOR.

For those who have been following me, I had brain surgery to remove a tumor just over two months ago. Tomorrow marks my first day of RADIATION therapy.

To be honest, I have been severely depressed (mostly as a side effect of my medications), but I will RISE above. I will FIGHT with all that I have to regain my HEALTH (both physical and mental). I will not give up. I am taking it just one punch/step at a time. I WILL get there. I have FAITH. I will continue to be a positive force to those around me.

Today, Joel Freeman and Jericho McMatthews met me in my living room to help me begin my fight toward health. I did a kickass workout called Core de Force and even helped raise money for Big Brothers and Sisters in the process.

And the cool part is that I get to do this workout LIVE with them this weekend in Portland.

I can’t wait to complete this full program during my recovery. I won’t give up. There’s still a FIGHTER in me yet.
