SHOULDER THE WEIGHT for Tim

As a dedicated battalion chief and firefighter, Tim has saved and impacted countless lives. As a passionate fitness trainer and coach, he has enabled so many individuals to reach their personal fitness goals. It’s time for the generosity he has always shown to be returned to him in abundance.

For decades, Tim has battled a painful, life-threatening health challenge, ultimately resulting in the need for a multivisceral organ transplant. This requires five major organs from a healthy donor to be transplanted at the same time. A few days ago, Tim finally received the news he had been awaiting, and he made the journey over a thousand miles from home for this very complex organ transplant surgery. Not only is this a high-risk medical procedure, but one that comes with heavy medical costs, as Tim will need to stay near his medical team for a minimum of six months for post-surgical treatment and therapy.

Through this very long and difficult battle, Tim has dedicated himself to remaining physically and mentally strong, while continuing to help others do the same. As friend, son, brother, husband, father, coach and trainer, and battalion chief and firefighter, Tim inspires and motivates us with his kindness, perseverance, and sense of humor.

A humble and giving person, Tim never asks for support, but it’s our turn. Let’s give back to Tim, in his time of need, a fraction of what he has given to others. Tim has made a positive impact on so many lives in so many ways. Let’s show him that we’ve got his back!
