Thanks Josh. I hope some guys take a chance on this. It’s life changing. Participants say it gives them a whole new focus. Don’t hesitate. It’s not religious based. I’s humanity based.

Hope you do. My husband volunteers at the one in Broken Bow Oklahoma in May. These are held all over the country. All you have to do is get there. Hope you make one.
