Your life can always change in just one instant, for better or for worse. It is important to always keep that knowledge in the back of your mind and live your life to its fullest potential.
And when life does take a turn and you are knocked down, it is even more important to remember that you can pick yourself back up, regardless of the situation. We all know that by helping others, we help ourselves, and Randy Bertisch is proof that when he fought for his life after a car accident and then decided to help others, he received so much greatness in return.
Randy founded the My Gym Challenged America Foundation to promote healthy lives for physically and developmentally challenged children. Randy spends his days facilitating the My Gym program in his own community and promoting the program to other communities to adopt. Randy has shown us that when the odds are all against you, success is still an option, you just have to say YES and take those steps forward!
