We literally couldn’t do it without you.

We are surrounded by people making it happen:
💥 Morning Cup Networking
💥 Dishin’ With Dawn
💥 J.R. Petersen – Thrivent + our incredible Thrivent Action Team
You didn’t just support us…
👉 You SHOWED UP.
And behind the scenes, these businesses stepped in BIG:
🔹 Red Clay Waste Solutions – massive dumpster support
🔹 Trash & Stash – hauling & storing our largest pieces
🔹 East Brainerd Self Storage – protecting our medals & office during the build
🔹 Max Steel Buildings – helping us prepare for Summer Camp structures
🔹 The Bolles Co. Inc – porta potty support (you KNOW that matters today 😄)
🔹 Paul Becker & family – extra trailer when we needed it most
🔹 Amon & Michael – tractor work getting the land ready
And that’s just the beginning…
This move isn’t easy.
But because of this community — it’s possible.

The Move

Thanks to a founding member Tommy we made it through the move! He matched every donation in March until April! Thank you for YOUR donations!

We came home to a notice to vacate our Lionhearts Facility -home to Lionhearts for the last 7 years.

It was for good reasons and timely and for the best.

I believe I had procrastinated enough and God was giving me a much needed “nudge.” We had planned to be moved into the Lionhearts Property by now, but we were so busy racing, having camps, raisng money and movie making.

Lionhearts is free to all youth and special credit due to Spartan, Race Ready Obstacles, Savage Race Fitbar and SO many other sponsors.

All donations are tax deductible.

As I type this OCR Luccketta is at the Obstacle Course Racing Community WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS-More soon!

Luccketta won a wonderful award at the New England OCR Expo for the second year in a row. What a great accomplishment and I (shell) was able to join him.
