Officially, I am listed on GoGetFunding as someone looking for funds for the business purpose of restructuring my company, Recovery Training. That is indeed true, but there are 3 underlying reasons why I am so driven to accomplish that task. First of all, I have been a personal trainer for almost 35 years and working with the continuing rehabilitative needs of primarily seniors for the last 12. I would love to pass on what I have learned to others. Becoming a NASM-Master Trainer and conducting NASM workshops will provide me with that opportunity. Secondly, every day I overlook the grounds of St. Jude Target House, I see very ill children playing and trying to have a normal children. I dream of getting Maggie (my Black Lab therapy dog) back and doing my part in helping those kids forget about their illness at least for a little while. Finally, I want to get Recovery Training (the name of the training I provide) service marked so that I can sell the business to Methodist Healthcare, dedicating it as a memorial to my father, grandfather, and great-grandfather who were all physicians in Memphis.

That is why I can't let it go and keeping trying to keep it alive. My restructuring of Recovery Training after the collapse in 2016, caused by the theft of an equipment deposit, is my attempt to keep my dream alive.
