"I was at the precipice of fighting alcoholism and depression and I got the help I needed. Fitness is a major part of my life now. I'm thankful to be sober and I want to give back. So fitness was a part of the way I thought we could support our veterans. I gave up alcohol for adrenaline and adrenaline is working a whole lot better for me. I have 15 jumps under my belt as a skydiver and I thought this could be a great way to help our veterans. Pocono Skydive said they wanted to join our mission as well as Spaceline Houston." -Michael Bednar, Founder, Lifestylesfit22.org

lifestylesfit22.org Lifestyle22Fit was founded by Michael Bednar in June of 2017 after learning about the staggering numbers of veterans who die each year due to PTSD-related suicide. With a proud military family background and a passion for helping others, this idea was born into reality out of Michael’s own struggles. Recovering from his own battles with depression and for sobriety- he found himself on the precipice; and though he did not share a foxhole, he found himself struggling with the very same idea of not going on. He dug down deep to find that one thing to keep him going – fitness. Michael’s level of commitment to himself and to his family is what he brings to Lifestyle22Fit . It is that level of care, empathy, and drive to survive that he wants to share with all of us; especially our heroes who put their lives on the line for us every single day. If just one person is impacted, then it is worth it.
