Today, I woke up so grateful. I can't believe it's been two years since I began Buddies Over Bullies. It's turned into something beautiful. Many of the Jiu-Jitsu schools worldwide have opened their doors to underprivileged bullied children. We have been able to provide school clothes and book bags for many children whose parents couldn't afford it. It's truly something I'm so passionate about. When I decided to pursue this, I knew it would be something I'd continue to do a lifetime. There is never a day that goes by where I don't get an email or dm about a child being bullied. That is sad, but it's true. Big thanks to @prof_haydenbjj for his behind the scenes work, @danielleh_626, and @prof_kennybjj for doing the paperwork to set up the non profit. Finally, a huge thanks to my biggest donators, @ericlundtx and @videogamerspod. You both are so needed. #throwback
