Pushing Limits, Finding Strength: A YMCA Success Story

Tricia Childers

When Tricia Childers crossed the finish line at this year’s 4 for the 4th race, it wasn’t just another run, it was a personal triumph. With a huge smile and joy in her voice, Tricia shared that she had shaved 13 minutes off her previous race time and 5 minutes off her all-time personal best.

Her journey to this milestone began at the Y, where she connected with Tre, one of our dedicated personal trainers and LiveSTRONG® program leaders. Through their work together, Tricia not only improved her fitness but also rediscovered her confidence, focus and motivation.

“Tre has inspired me to achieve many goals in life,” Tricia shared. “Including weight loss and giving me the motivation to beat my previous time for Four for the Fourth through his daily positive reinforcements.”

Tricia’s story is just one example of how your support helps individuals regain strength, not just in body, but in spirit.
