My motivation: LIFE. 4 yrs ago, 27 October 2005, I almost lost my life in a motorcycle accident, was in a coma for 2 days had a severe brain injury..and had my last rights read..however 2 weeks later I went home to recover..I do not remember much, but what really stood out was the fact that my brain specialist told me, after I asked him when I would be able to workout again, I would probably never lift weights again but walking would be fine. I did some research, on how I could improve, not only my memory, but build my physical strength back. I had to set a goal for myself. I wanted to compete in Figure, I knew it would motivate me physically as well as mentally To make a long story short, I competed in my 1st Figure competition on the anniversary of my accident. I did not compete to bring home a trophy, the fact I had so many relapses in 8 months and was not even sure I would make it, however, I won Masters, and Open and took Overall.. I think my perseverance and determination has made me a very strong person. Life is precious and every day is a blessing! :-)
