Battling Cancer at Wodapalooza on day 3.

Thank you again to the brands that helped me get these episodes together - FitAid and Whoop.

On the final day of WZA, I spent less time on the competition floor. Instead I headed over to meet with my friends at Battle Cancer and hit the "Grace Race," with my old friend and fellow cancer survivor - Mike Deboever.

I was blown away all weekend long by the professionalism and magnitude of Wodapalooza. It's clearly the sum of countless hours of hard work, an army of volunteers and the creativity of this beautiful community.

While this format isn't necessarily my 'perfect pitch,' I'll continue to seek ways to remain plugged in and find professional media opportunities whenever they present themselves.

Never knew this about you. So glad you shared and so glad you're out there fighting the good fight! Keep up the AWESOME work!

Way to keep up the awareness. I was following you when you had it and for whatever reason you were the spark to check myself out even though I knew I was supposed to. Found something out of the ordinary and went to the Dr and fortunately it wasn’t cancerous. Anticlimactic story but that same scenario repeated by a few hundred thousand people makes a big difference.

I’m also a survivor (prostate at 48). As far as I know, early detection = more successful outcome, and early detection comes with heightened awareness. You might be saving a lot of people a world of suffering by doing this.
