Saturday's seminar was a powerful reminder of what "community" really means. While we were focused on promoting the event for JW Wright, he, Professor Shawn Woods, and our Jiu-Jitsu family were working behind the scenes to turn the day into a fundraiser for Janice and me.❤️
Since my diagnosis with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma in December, things have been a whirlwind as we prepare for radiation treatments. Seeing the mats filled with people there to support us was an overwhelming experience that we will never forget. We want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who gave their time or resources to help us. We are so blessed to be part of the Gracie Humaita family. May God bless your generosity.🙏
