I remember the day all too well. The screaming and shouting. The fighting. The saying that they were through. Hearing my mom say she didn’t want him anymore.

Over the last four years, I have filled Sanitatum with obstacles that I train on. Every year, I send in an application video. I have never been accepted, but this year will be
