MEN’S HEALTH HUDDLE THIS SATURDAY! MY PERSONAL JOURNEY AND WHY YOU NEED TO BE THERE!

And fellas, while this event is called the Men’s Health Huddle, this invitation is for EVERYBODY!

Ladies, we especially need YOU!

Let’s face it. Sometimes it takes a wife, mother, sister, daughter, girlfriend, or good friend to encourage the men in our lives to take their health seriously.

You know that brother who hasn’t been to the doctor in years? That husband who keeps saying, “I’m good,” even when you know something isn’t right? That father or uncle who takes care of everybody else but never makes time for himself?

BRING HIM!

This is an opportunity to get free health screenings, connect with health professionals, learn something that could change your life, and spend the day kicking it with some incredible sports legends!

Scheduled appearances include Super Bowl champions Shelton Quarles and William Gholston, Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Rickey Reynolds, and two-time world boxing champion Winky Wright, with NFL Hall of Famer Derrick Brooks invited as a special guest.

There will also be expert panels, health education, family activities, giveaways, surprises, and opportunities to hear real stories from people who understand the importance of taking care of themselves.

I HAD TO LEARN THE HARD WAY.

I want to share something personal with you that I haven’t shared with everybody.

Over the past year, I’ve lost more than 100 pounds. And while I’m extremely proud of that accomplishment, there’s a part of my story that I don’t talk about very often.

It took having a slight stroke to make me realize just how important my health really is.

I’m only 56 years old.

By the grace of God, my stroke wasn’t severe, and I haven’t experienced any lasting effects. I am ridiculously blessed, and I don’t take that for granted.

But here’s what I want you to understand.

Looking back, there were things I could have done differently. I could have been more proactive about seeing my doctor. I could have made better choices about what I was eating. I used to smoke, too.

And while I can’t say those things caused my stroke, I can tell you that experience changed the way I look at taking care of myself.

I don’t want you to have to go through something frightening to realize how valuable your health is.

Sometimes we get so busy working, providing for our families, taking care of everybody else, and just trying to make it through another day that we put ourselves last.

Especially us men.

We say we’re fine. We say we’ll get checked out later. We convince ourselves that if nothing hurts, nothing’s wrong.

But sometimes the biggest health concerns don’t come with warning signs.

That’s why events like the Men’s Health Huddle are so important.

Don’t wait for a health scare to start taking your health seriously.

I’ve lost more than 100 pounds, but what I’ve gained is even more valuable: a greater appreciation for my health, my life, and the opportunity God has given me to make better choices.

And if sharing my story encourages even ONE person to get a screening, make that doctor’s appointment, or take that first step toward a healthier life, then sharing it is worth it.

Because taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s one of the greatest things you can do for the people who love you.

Don’t wait for a diagnosis. Don’t wait for a trip to the emergency room. Don’t wait for something to happen that forces you to change.

And understand something else: You don’t have to be overweight or feel sick to benefit from a health screening. Sometimes the things that put our health at risk don’t come with obvious warning signs.

I’ve learned that taking care of yourself isn’t selfish. It’s one of the greatest gifts you can give to the people who love you.

And if sharing my experience motivates even ONE person to get checked out, make an appointment, or start taking their health more seriously, then it’s worth telling my story.

THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN HEALTH SCREENINGS. IT’S ABOUT COMMUNITY!

I don’t want you to think we’re inviting you to spend four hours sitting around listening to doctors lecture you.

We’re going to have a good time!

Come hang out with us. Meet some Tampa Bay sports legends. Enjoy the activities, fellowship, and positive energy. Learn something new about your health, and maybe even encourage somebody else to make a change.

You might walk away feeling better about yourself. You might help somebody you love take that first step.

And who knows? You just might help save a life! Including your own.
