*Amelia

hi everyone! my name is amelia and this is my first time at this fundraiser, and i am extremely new to deadlifting! i've never been super into fitness but i was feeling inspired by my parents, who are at the tail end of their 50's but in the best shape of their lives. as i'm about to enter my 30's i owe it to myself to take the best care of my body so it takes care of me. on my way out of town for a bachelorette trip, we dropped off my friend's boyfriend at his gym- the incredible moore than fitness- and i immediately joked "august will you train me?" i've never heard a yes come out of someone's mouth so fast. i started training with him in october 2024, and was immediately drawn to deadlifting! i've worked in craft beer for 6 years and realized while lifting kegs that may be the reason deadlifting felt so comfortable :) i'm already so proud of my progress since october and i can't wait to see what i can accomplish by june. thanks for coming to my page and supporting me and such an incredible cause!
