I recently attended the Ryan Lee Seminar for fitness professionals. While there, I met a gentleman named Chris Shabay. It was actually kind of strange because we were in this ballroom having breakfast and there were a bunch of tables set up. My friend Greg and I were eating and Chris sat down. We exchanged hellos and that was it. Chris was done and he got up to leave. I felt compelled to talk to him but I did not know why. We spoke for quite a while about his fitness business and his other project. Chris goes to Sierra Leone in West Africa about every six weeks. He works in an orphanage with 84 kids whose parents and siblings have been brutally murdered. We talked about what it is like there, what it's like to see the children and the overall experience. I had a ton of questions. Right after I spoke to Chris, I called Rachael.
Rachael and I spoke about going away to the Caribbean or somewhere warm for my 30th birthday. After meeting Chris, I knew right away what I wanted to do for my 30th.
Rachael and I talked when I got home and she had a ton of questions. Chris and I spoke more shortly after the seminar and Rachael and I made a decision that we wanted to go and make a difference, big or small. I am sure it will be an experience of a lifetime. I will keep all of you posted on the details.
Our goal is to raise $10,000 by mid February.
Have a great weekend!
