Life is sending me a challenge, but with the right people around me, I’ll be ready to face it.

Unfortunately, i won’t be able to compete at the Semifinals next weekend and will end my season at the same time due to health issues.

To say that the last couple weeks were easy would be the BIGGEST lie. Beside my amazing family, girlfriend and friends, i would like to say a huge thank you to @dawnmfletcher and @mike_m2pn for their help and support. Nobody could change the situation but each one of them change the way i respond and dealt with it.

To everyone following my journey and cheering for me since day one, I am truly sorry 🙏 .

More on that later, but for now, no worries I’ll stay active and enjoy some fitness and other challenges.
