So as big as a wrestling fan that I am, you know I try to get involved in anything and everything I can when it comes to my wrestlers. Well, I have some great news!!!
I’ve joined forces with Wrestler’s Rescue and am now the official President of the Wrestler’s Rescue Street Team!!! You have no idea how exciting this is for me, I know it’s not a big huge title, there’s no pay, it’s just a street team, but I’m so glad to be on top of spreading the word about this great organization.
If you haven’t heard of Wrestler’s Rescue their mission is to create awareness and to help raise money to support the health care needs of retired professional wrestlers. Most people don’t know the hardships retired wrestlers can have due to their career choice in wrestling and the extensive hurt their bodies go through. Wrestler’s Rescue hopes to not only raise funds, but put in place a financial advisory for the active wrestling community to call on for advice or how to plan for their future including retirement, pension, college funds, family needs etc. They hope to set in place a health care program that can be bought into at a group rate so that the community can afford care for themselves and their families.
I think this is a great cause for the wrestlers of today and yesterday, a lot of fans or people in general don’t understand how hard it is in terms of health care and ongoing care for these wrestlers who entertain us week after week, month after month, and year after year.
There’s also a great event coming up in July 26-31 of 2010 which includes a Wrestler’s Rescue Cruise. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased until December 1, 2009 see here for details. The cruise is a must for any wrestling fan, it's going to be a fun filled 5 day cruise filled with fun activities and including a ton of your favorite wrestlers past and present!
