Description

Hey all! We are teaming up with our awesome member, Ericha Flateau and 4 Paws for Austin to bring you a day of deadlifts, fundraising, and community! If you know Ericha, you may know her son Austin and his trusty side-kick, Paris! Paris is his service dog that he was partnered with in 2014. If you are new to their journey together, here is a quick synopsis: Austin was born with 2 rare brain malformations that cause refractory (hard to control) epilepsy as well as a significant speech delay and some other disabilities. Historically, Austin has been known to have near-constant seizure activity with his longest lasting seizures occurring overnight. His mom, Ericha, sought a service dog for him so that he could get seizure alerts in advance, sleep safely in his own bed, and learn to live a bit more independently as he grew up. This is the road that led them to Paris! She came home to them at 11 months old and has had a long working career. She has not only helped Austin become more medically stable, but she has also given their family a level of security that they didn't know was in the realm of possibility before him. Paris will be 10 years old this year and they plan on retiring her as their family pet so she can enjoy a little freedom and pass on the torch to a younger and more motivated pup! Join us on Saturday June 17, 2023 for a day of deadlifting, fundraising, and community! The entry fee for this event is $30. Event check in will begin at 9am with plans for the first flight to start at 10am.
