Personal Testimony – Ronan O’Brien

Founding Inspiration:

We are taking on this personal challenge to raise awareness and funding for Hope House in Port Jefferson, NY — a safe haven, non-traditional, long-term substance abuse treatment facility which allows individuals to TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES. Hope House also provides and its numerous locations — shelter for the homeless, safe housing for domestic violence victims, safe housing/education for youth at risk, a stand alone mental health facility, and much more!

We were first introduced to David Goggin’s via the internet and learned about his amazing journey of hardship, dedication, transformation, and inspiration. Like many of us he may be a little rough around the edges, but the power of his message is undeniable. We encourage everyone to look him up and read his book “Can’t Hurt Me” — We were blown away. Some of the obstacles he overcame include an abusive childhood, a learning disability, racism, and obesity — he eventually became a decorated Navy Seal, extreme endurance athlete, top motivational speaker for pro-athletes and business moguls, and someone who has PERSONALLY raised millions for charities such as the Special Operations Warriors Fund.

He has inspired us to be super-vigilant in maintaining a healthy body, mind, and spirit. Part of that involves doing things that are uncomfortable and stepping outside of our comfort zones to discover what we are truly capable of. That is what this 4x4x48 Challenge represents for us — and that is also what Hope House has meant for us. We are NOT endurance athletes by any stretch of the imagination! It will be a monumental CHALLENGE no doubt, but for a great cause in Hope House Ministries to which we can personally attest to the MIRACLES they provide everyday!

As David noted above and Father Frank touches on often in his homilies,

In a time when there is so much divisiveness, this event is a rare opportunity to come together with people all over the world for some amazing causes!
