Help Derrick raise money

For participating in YMCA Sweat for Strong Kids London 2018

My Story…

I used to be the kind of person that would scoff at those who go to the gym. Generally thought of them as a little vein, or crazy to enjoy the pain that can come from it. After over a decade of very little exercise, my wife and I joined a gym (YMCA) together, with the idea of getting healthier. No specific goals. No Judgements. Just helping each-other move towards improved health. Finding physical activities I enjoy has provided many benefits to my life. Direct benefits for me have included improved mood, reduced anxiety, and it has been another activity my wife and I can enjoy, together. My only wish is that I had joined, sooner. This is why I have decided to participate in this event and raise funds for kids who might be able to find some form of exercise they enjoy, even if they aren't into competitive sports or if money is an obstacle.
