She is a warrior: she has forged through physical obstacles and reached goals that she didn't even dream of just 10 years ago...

She is gracious - and sometimes, she needs me: she honours and respects my knowledge and experience in many ways...

She is my Sister: we mirror each other in our desire to reach out and help others - family, friends, neighbours, and strangers. In the way our parents live their lives, we learned and observed simple human kindness in their giving for the sake of giving...

She is inspiring: she has created a whole world out of a tiny speck on an idea, weaving a network of people together that is STRONG because there is no "weakest link" - each link adds to the integrity of the fabric of the Fytness Fanatik community, some are strong and add resilience while others are fragile but add beauty...

I have witnessed her metamorphosis; what she has become brings a smile to my heart...(and she's not finished yet!)

She's Amanda Lynn - Mother, Daughter ,Sister, Partner, Friend. Many of these to some and one of these to many. She is loved.

Congratulations on all of your accomplishments, Mandy.
