Valerie valentino where is he now

True strength comes from struggle and what happens when there's no other option. No struggle is harder than being sick and having to fight for your life. We had the immense pleasure of interviewing Valerie Valentino who is a year-old cancer survivor. Just after finding her passion for powerlifting she was diagnosed and had to learn to be just as strong outside of the gym as she was inside the gym.

Here's her story. I recently moved to North Dakota with my boyfriend because he got stationed here. I got into the gym straight out of high school. I was an athlete all through school, so after graduation, I just needed something to keep me active. When I first stepped into a gym I was intimidated and scared! I started seeing people squatting, benching and deadlifting, and I was like hey, I want to learn how to do that.

So I started asking people to show me. Most people showed me the wrong way, but eventually, I asked a powerlifter Kevin, the boyfriend and I learned the right way.

I started with just the bar and slowly was able to add weight. Then something awesome started happening; I started getting stronger! I fell I love with the feeling of hitting a PR.

I fell in love with improving myself. And before I knew it, lifting had become one of the biggest parts of my life. My favorite of the lifts changes from time to time-based on whatever is feeling best for me at that time. Squats I feel are more impressive and take a lot of technique in order to excel at them. Squatting takes a lot out of me so when I know I have a heavy squat day I usually make an afternoon of it.

I remember when benching a plate lbs was a dream of mine, and now I can rep a plate and that just a great feeling to have. I was diagnosed with cancer on January 16, I instantly noticed a golf ball size bump above my collar bone that I had never noticed before.

I kinda panicked so this girl probably thought I was out of my mind. Well, I asked around over the next few days and people all said the same things to me. It would fluctuate in size and after a few months, I decided to see a doctor. I really thought it was nothing.

I thought maybe they would have to remove it but nothing serious. So I got referred from doctor to doctor for a couple of months and was growing impatient with their lack of urgency. Eventually had a biopsy on it, which hurt very badly, and they told me the news.

I was pretty devastated for different reasons. First off, they told me I was going to lose all of my hair. I had long beautiful brown hair and I was going to lose it all. Secondly, I had just signed up for my first powerlifting meet and I was really pumped for it. I was stubborn and I said I was going to compete anyway. I kept training only to become weaker every week.
