Hey there is Chris Duffin, co-founder of Kabuki Strength coming at you today.

So doing a little 10 minute walk with Mark Smelly Bell, so enjoying some sun.

But I wanted to talk about something I did recently and it was a big fundraiser for the Special Olympics,

specifically around powerlifting.

And if you've ever dealt with anybody that's in the special needs

community getting involved in the special Olympics or lifting for them you can

find it it's really just incredibly powerful as far as what it does

for their self-esteem, confidence, let alone, you know, the impacts on health.

And powerlifting itself, you know, some people may hate to hear this,

but it's a very simple sport.

So it allows people to really, or these individuals to really realize those results, and they know it's real.

Like that's why it's so empowering like you know you've gone and

you've made improvement you pick up that bar and you know it's not anybody saying you know yeah yeah or here's a trophy like it's

the fact of like the weights don't line everybody knows this and and that's why

it's such a powerful thing for these individuals.

And it's crazy the amount of people that would like to be involved with this that don't have the opportunity. I don't have the metrics is up on our

our web page for the fundraiser but if you go to Kabuki Strength which I

encourage you to do so that you can actually donate to the cause. We've got some of those metrics on there. I think like here in

Oregon we've got about 4,000 people that compete. Again these are rough remembered

numbers here but about 30,000 that would like to.

So we've been doing a fundraiser and one of our coaches, Cassandra Lamadrid, is actually a coach

for one of the Special Olympics powerlifting team.
