Story

Help Us Change Lives

Fitness is an extremely big part of not only our program, but in our recovery as well. Prior to coming to the Academy, most of us were far from being in optimal health; we came in under or overweight. When we came in, we wouldn't be able to run a mile, let alone an entire marathon. We are more than grateful for this opportunity to push ourselves to the limits and feel a sense of accomplishment. For a lot of us, exercise taught us the importance of setting realistic goals, discipline, consistency, and provided us with the confidence. We do not take this opportunity for granted. Any donation is gratefully appreciated.

Love,

Your Sons, Brothers, and Friends.
