Never give up on yourself - join us on congratulating @kmabatah on his latest achievement ↓ - "The big announcement for next month is I’ll be competing in my FIRST ever bodybuilding competition! I didn’t think this would be possible given my injury, but my team at TIRR @memorialhermann and others convinced me that it was indeed possible! We just had to find fitness competitions where I could compete despite my disabilities. - For those that don’t know, I suffered a severe traumatic brain injury that resulted in having 4 major brain surgeries. I was paralyzed on my whole right side and had to learn how to walk, talk, and use my right arm again. I’m still partially paralyzed on my right side in some areas, so despite all that, I think being able to stand on stage is a miracle in itself! - My first show will be on September 26, 2020, in Houston at the Legacy Classic. It will be an opportunity to share my unique story to inspire/motivate others! - The truth is the gym and competing in bodybuilding fills that void that tennis filled in my life up until my incident. I know I can’t play tennis at the level I did before nor compete playing in tennis tournaments because that requires being able to do things physically that I can no longer do. But I was convinced that I can be competitive in the sport of bodybuilding despite my disabilities! - My team and I are doing great work helping to change the lives of those who are also impacted by traumatic brain injuries! So stay tuned, the real work begins now being almost 4 weeks out! 📸: @billi_davis_ifbbpro" - @Gymsharktrain #Gymshark
