Chevi Peters and John Lair ESPN "Lifted"

At the lowest point in his life, weighing 90 pounds and having survived 38 major surgeries, Chevi Peters walked into coach John Lair’s office and said he wanted to be a powerlifter. Fast-forward through seven years of intense training to the 2015 Special Olympics World Games, where Chevi dug deep to pick up three gold medals. Truly awesome tear filled story....

What an AWESOME story buddy! I just love this feature about it! And then 4 years later, I went to Abu Dhabi and became a World Special Olympic Powerlifting champion just like Chevi! Proud of your accomplishments at LA 2015! You guys are truly inspiring to me! Awesome job buddy!
