“A few years ago, I made a promise to myself that all the pain, anguish and agony that I have encountered would not be in vain. I made a commitment to use my experiences, and what I have learned from them, to help others overcome their challenges. I am here to give others support, inspiration and hope.  I’m here to show the world that you can overcome any challenge that comes your way, and that every obstacle that confronts you, is just another chance for you to attain knowledge and personal growth. Above all, I am here to show the world that I embrace my challenges, and that we should all embrace our challenges.  Yes, they make us who we are, but they do so much more than that.  They inspire hope, change, accomplishment, and yes, belief. Our challenges inspire belief.  The one thing that we all need to attain our goals, we receive when we embrace the challenges we are dealt.” - Russell Lehmann
