A Good Cause

Here’s a quick story from my competing days:
Years ago I had the chance to help a terminally ill child and his family. This boy had a few weeks to live. He was in pain, depressed and unresponsive. Wouldn’t talk, wouldn’t move.
His mother contacted me and asked me to visit. When I got to the hospital, I took my shirt off in the hallway – I was at the peak of my size and definition. I exploded into the room and yelled “muscle man!”
The boy sat up, smiled, and grabbed my arm and felt my muscle. His family cried and hugged me. Helping this child smile and feel good created a precious moment that the family would remember forever. I was blown away by the experience. It sticks out in my mind as one of the best moments of my career.
Again, I have a chance to make a small difference. The visibility of this blog has skyrocketed in recent weeks. Close to 20,000 visits a day. That makes The Levrone Report one of the most visited bodybuilding sites in the world, thanks to all of you. I feel we should use that power to do some good.
Let’s start by putting up a link for a good cause. Since you guys helped make this blog what it is, I invite you to vote for the cause that’s most meaningful to you. Thanks – Kevin
