I am honored to have been asked to participate in this great event. My wife is a para pro for one of the 2015 relentless kids Collin Stempniewski. We have seen first hand not only the financial support Relentless gives for the kids and their family but also the spiritual and emotional support. I attended the meet last year as a spectator and was AMAZED at not only the weights that were lifted but the interaction with the kids and their families. As strong as all the lifters are and as big as our hearts the weight we choose to lift is no where near the weight that these kids and their families carry every day! We make a choice at the amount and if we fail we try again. With these families there is no failure, they lift enormous amounts each day without failing and continue to do so......
I'm not asking you to support me I'm asking to support these remarkable kids and their families....They are the true strength not only in this event but EVERY DAY!!
Relentless Detroit's mission is to build relationships, change lives and to serve God by uniting strong men and women with even stronger children.
The Relentless Detroit Foundation, in collaboration with Detroit Barbell and Kirby Church, was created to raise money, awareness and support for families with children diagnosed with life threatening illnesses.
Our goal is to not only raise money for these families, but also help strengthen and add to their existing support system.
Additional support for Relentless Detroit comes from Detroit Barbell, Kirby Church, Nubreed Nutrition, Randal Whately, Walmart and other local businesses. Operating costs include, but are not limited to, design and printing of promotional materials including flyers, tickets, t-shirts, etc.
These items are used to promote the event and also sold to raise awareness and additional funds for the families. All man power to plan, coordinate, and operate this event is volunteered. The event venue and equipment used are donated by Detroit Barbell and Kirby Church.
Thank you for helping us make a difference!
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:2
