I’ve always exercised or been active in some way throughout my adult life. I’ve even occasionally attempted healthier diets and focused on recovery but never really been successful at doing all of it at the same time. With Stark I happen to be in a situation where I have all the tools, and support I’m going to need. There’s never going to be a better time to put it all together and solve for peak performance. I think it’ll be a lot of fun. 

I learned about refugee action fund from a colleague at work. As humans we have a natural instinct to seek out community and develop bonds.  With it comes also an innate desire to find a home. Our community and home are the the most fundamental and valuable resource we have. No one would willingly abandon, that which is most valuable to them, yet millions are forced to leave their home and community to flee from violence and threats to their lives. One of the more recent example of this was in Afghanistan where we witnessed footage of people grasping on to the outside of an airplane to escape tyranny. Imagine the fear and distress that someone would have to experience, in order to choose near certain death, over remaining in your own country and being tortured by your own people.

 I believe that we can make small difference by helping those that have to make the difficult choice of leaving their homes by welcoming them into our communities and extending them the opportunity to rebuild their lives. I hope that you take the time to learn about Refugee Action Fund.
