is helping people in recovery by offering structured workouts focused

in memory of his late brother Brian. It's called BVL
Boxing Solutions, and they provide a supportive space where participants

their addiction. Operating as a nonprofit, the gym allows people

to help them stay on track in their recovery. I

makes our smile file this morning.
