° I am doing a fundraiser for @uspapowerliftingfoundation as I compete for @uspapower Ultra Nationals! My competition takes place Tuesday, May 26th 2026 in Anaheim, California! This meet will be live streamed which I will post the link for when I receive it! I encourage everyone to watch it if available! This meet will be one of the biggest!!
* LINK /@uspapower ?si=o4A-07XMLY_I24b5 *
° It’s simple! You can pledge a small amount and for every pound I lift, you’ll donate to the foundation! An example would be 1¢ per pound, and if I total to 500 lbs, the donation would be 5$! If you want to go crazy, and pledge 5¢, you would donate 25$ in the end!
° I ask you all to donate if you’re able to for the foundation so they can continue helping others’ dreams come true! If you’re unable to, no worries!! You can show your support by joining the livestream and boosting this announcement!!
° DM me with any questions and to enter! Thank you so much for your support and love!! God bless <3

Thank you to everyone who made it happen — the lifters, volunteers, vendors, and supporters who continue to show up for this community.
Most importantly, thank you for helping us honor Liz’s legacy in the best way we know how.
Until next time. 💪
