CHEERFIT AMBASSADOR FEATURE: PATRICIA ENTRY
The CHEERFIT ambassador community is filled with leaders and motivators who all share a passion for fitness, love for cheering and drive to help inspire others.
Our ambassadors share with us their personal stories and obstacles they overcome along the way. We have an amazing community of athletes who fuel their passion and determination with the CHEERFIT lifestyle.
CAN YOU SHARE WITH US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR JOURNEY AND HOW YOU GOT TO WHERE YOU ARE TODAY?
I was born two months early and had to have two open heart surgeries before I was 12 days old. I also have had five different surgeries since then. I’m also missing my S1 vertebra, and I also have spina bifida, (which I needed have to have surgery for). I have had a extremely hard time of keeping my back and shoulders open because of the doctors wiring my chest back together. So I have struggled with every new skill I’ve learned.
Fitness is important to me because I need to stay healthy to make sure my heart stays healthy.
With scraping and blading and taping, (once a week) and lots and lots of stretching I have been able to keep my back open. Fitness is important to me because I need to stay healthy to make sure my heart stay healthy. I have learned that know matter how much you stretch you can never stretch enough.
