Passion Runs Deep… Honor The Battle!

We honor all our sisters that have battled; continue to battle, or love someone that has been effected by breast cancer…and every cancer.

A very personal note from Maddog:

As I write this I am aware that there are far too many types of cancer that remain in the background of social awareness. My own father was diagnosed with lung cancer and melanoma~ a battle he quickly lost so many years ago….

My life long commitment to fitness is a direct result of the battle I watched him fight. As he slammed his fist on the counter following his diagnosis he said “damn it~ it got me, but I’m going to fight like hell”!

His determination, like so many that fight the battles of all kinds of cancers is a trait that may go unnoticed to others; but if you love someone in a battle for their life you know this is a most necessary trait.

During my father’s year long battle for his life he held my hand and said “little girl, if you are physically strong you can battle anything”.

Though I’m aware my passion runs deep and is hard for some to understand…my unfettered motivation powers me everyday and I think of him always .

Never let the sunset on an opportunity to be stronger and healthier. Some never get the chance…remember; we the lucky ones we have a chance to work our healthy bodies.

In honor of all our sisters that battle; and everyone we love~ let’s be stronger and healthier every day.
