About Me

My Photo
My name is Adam Price. In 2003 I was diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukema and a little over a year later, I had a bone marrow transplant. This is the journal I wrote to document my journey. Since 2003, my lovely wife and I have had three beautiful daughters, and I have gone from cancer survivor, to World Champion powerlifter. This journal was written in hopes that it could provide hope for people searching for answers after discovering that they, or a loved one have cancer. It was intended to show that a diagnosis is not a death sentence, and that with a little determination, patience, an incredible amount of support, and more than a little bit of luck, anything is possible. Thank you for stopping by. Before you go, please click on my wife's link for the RIDE TO CONQUER CANCER. She is attempting the 200km bike ride in 2010 so any contribution you could make would be greatly appreciated.

Update

I will be hosting a RAW, drug-tested powerlifting meet at the Blackfoot Inn on July 31st. This is a National qualifier for the World Championships in Las Vegas, but all lifters of all abilities will be welcomed to the event. I don't care if you've been lifting for years, or if you have just begun to lift, if you share my desire to test yourself under a bar, you are welcome here.

This event is also dedicated to giving 100% of the proceeds to the Alberta Cancer Foundation. I refuse to take a single penny for my time organizing this event, and my personal goal is to raise $25,000.

If you would like to compete at this event, or if you wish to provide sponsorship or volunteer help, please email

rawpowerliftingcanada@hotmail.com

My long term goal is to give back all the money that the Alberta taxpayers spent on my treatments. By conservative estimation, I figure that I owe Alberta about $300,000, and I will not stop until every last penny is paid back. After that, the sky is the limit, and I intend to dedicate myself to raising as much money for the Alberta Cancer Foundation as I can.

Happy Lifting everyone.
