Ninja Warrior Career and Ninja for a Cure

Along with being a competitor myself, I enjoy being involved in the ninja community and have been able to hold competitions of my own. I partnered with the organization, Ninja for a Cure, in order to raise money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. All of the proceeds have gone directly to the charity. I work on making the courses, running the event on the microphone and demonstrating the obstacles for the competitors, as well as doing all the advertising and preparation beforehand. It is growing exponentially, as the first summer consisted of 17 competitors and $730 donated in my backyard, and the second year was 33 competitors and $1,550. Our third year brought up 60 competitors and $3,250; this competition was so large we had to move the annual event into a gym. The fourth contained 70 competitors along with a raffle to donate $5,555. The 5th annual Ninja for a Cure competition donated another $4,005, for a total of $15,090 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation! I have put countless hours into these over the years and I would consider the events to be some of the proudest moments of my life.
