It's not just about physical strength, but mental resilience and determination. Pushing past my limits for a cause close to my heart has been an incredible journey." [00:19:11] – Ray Tomsick
“Let me tell you, America? That's my ride-or-die team, no doubt. While some swear by the Broncos, I'm waving the stars and stripes all the way.”[00:29:16] – Ray Tomsick
