donor spotlightI have been a member of the YWCA since I moved to Gettysburg when Iwas 10 years old. Over the last 30 years the YW has served me well asa daycare provider and as a fitness center with swimming, diving andtennis lessons, and personal training, not to mention the racquetball andbasketball courts. I have used them all! The YW has wonderful fitnessfacilities and classes. I have always found something to fit my needs aslife changes and challenges my time and schedule. We support the YWCA because it is a critical component to the healthand fitness of our family. It is so comforting to have a place like the YWfor my son and I to go and hang out together or participate in our ownactivities. We spend lots of time at the YW and have developed long-lasting friendships. Like I have, I just know that Liam will find a lifetime offun at the YW! We love the YW!

hip Two years ago, my husband and I de-

cided to try to get healthy. When we firstcame to the fitness center, I would walkon the treadmill, and my husband wouldencourage me to speed up to 3 mph.When he would walk away, I would turn itdown. I was in such bad shape that justwalking upstairs to put away laundrymade my heart race and I’d have troublebreathing. What brought me to this point? To copewith a physical trauma I experienced inmy teens, I turned to food. I became ad-dicted to eating, and I stopped weighingmyself when I hit 230 pounds. I was asize 20, and at one point I spent threemonths in bed with pneumonia and de-pression. After that, I knew I was eithergoing to have to make a change or I wasgoing to die of a heart attack.At a Christian festival I attended, I wasable to experience internal healing fromthis trauma that drove me to overeat. Ifelt I was no longer a victim; I was a sur-vivor. I realized that by allowing that pasthurt to destroy my life, the only person Iwas hurting was myself.

As I continued working out in the fitnesscenter, I would hear all the participants inthe Zumba classes laughing and havinga great time. I walked into Allison Kel-ley’s class one evening, and I just could-n’t keep up. I left in tears after one song.Allison saw this and encouraged me tocome back. It felt good to know thatsomeone cared. I continued to come toclass, and I would try to stay for onemore song each time. In the past year, I’ve lost 80 pounds. Myaddiction to food has turned into a pas-sion for fitness and helping encourageothers. I work out up to three hours aday, doing Bootcamp and Zumba andthen sometimes going home and takinga walk with my husband. It’s a whole dif-ferent lifestyle!Allison was very instrumental in encour-aging me, and I watch as she does it forso many women. Now I try to encourageothers, telling them to not give up. Peo-ple tell me that I am an inspiration tothem, and being able to help other peo-ple makes all the difference.
