CHARITY EVENT - Kick, Slam, Jump & Sledge-A-Thon

CHARITY EVENT - SPREAD THE WORD

We're hosting a Charity Event at Plum Blossom Fitness Martial Arts on Sunday, November 18th.  The event is to raise money for a friend of mine that was injured in a severe accident at the end of September.  Please join us for this fun filled event to help improve someone's life.  Details below.

Event Details:  

Come in and show the stuff you're made of.  Participate in one, or all four of the events.  Try to do as many repetitions as you can on - Bag Kicks (any kick you want), Bag Slams (any weight), Box Jumps (any height), & Tire Sledge (any weight).  Friends and family are welcome to participate as well.  Please spread the word so we can raise money to help out.

Each donating participant will receive a free Plum Blossom Stainless Steel Water Bottle.

Age:  7 and up.
Cost:  Free event.  Donations accepted.
Day/Time:  Sunday, November 18 from 12pm to 2pm.

Charity Details:

My friend Harley Blaisdell is from a town outside Philadelphia, PA.  He is a creative, top notch chef that works for an upscale Catering Company.  Previously he worked for QVC cooking and displaying foods for the shopping network.  His dreams were to start his own Catering Company, and in the past I have had many discussions with him on taking the leap and reaching his goals. Sadly, those dreams have been put on hold, or cut short.

In late September, Harley was struck by a car moving at a high rate of speed.  He was hit, then flipped up onto the roof of the car and was then thrown 25 feet into a metal pole that split the back of his head open.  He spent a week or more in a coma in ICU and underwent a tracheotomy.

He has since come to and has been working with physical therapists to try to walk again.  Harley unfortunately experienced a serious brain injury that has affected his short term memory.  There is no current knowledge of if/when he will recover from the accident, or how long he will be out of work.

Some of his work.

Robot Wedding Cake

He did have medical insurance but he is currently residing in a rehab facility, wheel chair bound, and out of work with no idea if/when he will be able to return. He's lost his apartment, and his insurance will run out in January when his health care expenses will move to a much higher cost.

To try and help my friend, I am organizing this Charity Event to raise money and deliver him a check in person at the Food for the Brain benefit being held in his honor two days after Thanksgiving.  Please assist me or just join in the fun event to show your support.

If you can't make the event, and you would like to make a donation anyway, please mail a check made out to Plum Blossom Fitness Martial Arts, to the address below, and "Food for the Brain" in the memo line.


Thank you all in advance.

Madhouse Retreat 2012

I picked up a nasty cold while traveling to Austin so I haven't been with it enough to write this follow-up.  I did want to tell all of you at Austin Fitness Martial Arts, what a great job you did in my Striking/Mantis Boxing workshop at the Madhouse Retreat 2012.  Thanks for a great time and awesome hospitality as usual.  Great food, excellent training, and even better...the students.

It was a pleasure to work with all of you and I look forward to returning.  Long live the Mantis!  -
