Jason Woods hasn't added a story.
Hi there EVERYBODY,
My name is Jason Woods and I want to take a moment to personally welcome you to my Fundrazr page. To start off I'm going to share a little background information about WHO I am. I suppose it would be helpful to also mention that I'm only 17, (not that age is a limiting factor in doing big things) I mention my age so that you can understand where im coming form as person on life's journey.
Over the past couple of years I have put myself into some very "difficult" situations. Two instantly spring to mind, getting lost in the Cairngorms and intentionally putting myself through 1,000 pushups. My very midset is based around overcoming challenges. So naturally I have develpoed a very keen interest in sports, as per its challenging nature. Around the age of 14 I ran my first 10k. This one race marked a defining moment in my life, because it signified a change in WHY I race. Before I had simply been running because it was somethimg I enjoyed. Then it became something that I loved and eventually, the one thing that would get me out of bed, was running. After this point I reached a level where I thought that I could run professionally. That lasted a few years, then I came to to this one race. In this race I had a change of heart, I now wanted to race to help people live better lives. So I ran this race for the Archie Foundation and raised around £300. It was at this point I realised I could use my gift of running to help others in need of help.
Not long after this I became interested in strength training. From here I came to discover Elliot Hulse, Zach Even-esh and Mark Devine. From all of these "Mentors" I have learned a great deal of life lessons. From thier teachings I have learned a GIGANTUAN amount about training, attitude and nutrition. Since developing these interests and reading disertations worth of textbooks on training, health fitness and the like. I have become somewhat of a resident "Guru" when it comes to training. ( that being said I appraoch all training like a begginer with an open mind and never really declare myself an expert in anything, because as soon as you do that you stop striving to be better.)
So... With this level of interest and knowledge of how to build a supremely athletic body and a warriors mind I begun helping my freinds do exactly that. The result of this was me changing my mind yet again. I no longer desire to be the fastest runner in all of the lands.
Now I desire something more. I DESIRE IMPACT. What does that even mean?
It means that when I die I want to be rememberd, not out of some egotistical want, to feel loved in my final moments. But because of what it would mean to be remembered. It would mean that I had an imapct on many peoples lives. That, for me at least is the purest form of service:helping others.
So, now that you know a bit about me let me explain what it is I want to do.
I want to become a "Coach of Character." I want to help people live better lives through teaching them how to cultivate a Strong Mind and a Strong Body.
How do I plan on doing this?
I plan on learning from the best that the world has to offer. On learning from someone who is doing pretty much exactly what I want to be doing. That "teacher" is Zach Even-esh.
Zach holds a certification programme for coaches and those who want to become coaches called " The Underground Strength coach Certification, CUSC.)
It is my ambition to rasie £3000 for the undertaking of the trip to New Jersey, To complete the certification.
That is what I am raising money for.
As to why I belive I've went over that in great deatil.
The questions that remain to be answered are: Where will this be happening? WHY should you care? and How can I contribute?
Well firstly, the key reason that I think you should care and thus donate. Is this: It'll, make the WORLD a better place. I know that may sound big headed me saying that but I genuiely belive I can make the world a better place as a result of me having existed. Its my DREAM to POSITIVELY and TANGIBLY effect the lives of at least 1 Million people. If you help me out, you'll be helping the world out. Thats WHY I think you should care. If you have watched my video, at the top of the page. Then you may remember my quoting of Steve Jobs. For those of you who haven't watched the video, I'll paraphrase:
"Those who are CRAZY enough to believe that they can change the World are the Ones WHO DO" - That is a philosophy I subscribe to in its entirety.
Where will this be happening? As to the Certification it will take place in New Jersey. However the reason I'm telling you the where of my event is that there is something else I wish to share with you. On the 5th of December, the end of my campaing. I will be taking part in another self induced torture session, somewhere in the Aberdeen area. The event will be broadcast online and all will be welcome to come and watch the hell take place. I have yet to find a suitable location for such a task, but I will update you once I do.
On the 5th, I will undertake the task of 3000 BURPEES !!!! ( if I could capitalise numbers I would :) Why do that? To motavaite YOU into ACTION and because it'll be fun ;)
Its at this point where you have a decision to make. You can either donate, using the "Contribute" buttons dotted all around this page or you can leave and do nothing.
PLEASE DON'T leave. Please sponsor me. Even if you can only afford a pound or a dollar. That would be incredibly awesome. I appreciate you having taken the time to read through this and I WILL be eternally greatful if you were to spare a few quid or bucks.
A few last words before I conclude this, if you would like to keep up with the campaings on goings and up and coming events then simply click here > Campaing Updates.
And once again Thank YOU for reading, Please donate and if you have any particularly charatible friends then please do feel free to SHARE this with them.
