We can\u2019t send a lean Max to Slovenia; he has to improve his physical condition and enhance his muscle growth.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Max, his preparations are going well, \u201cand my body is responding very well to the exercises and supplements. I love what I am doing. I will be in KZN this week as a guest poser and to tell my story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Max had an unfortunate surgery procedure during 2014 which left him partially paralysed. He realized he needed to transform his negative thoughts to be more constructive. To find pride in himself again, he started with powerlifting in 2019 and soon became a South African champion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By mid-2021 he bade farewell to powerlifting and started with bodybuilding. He was crowned SA champion at his first ever bodybuilding event and qualified for the IBBF world championships in Slovenia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dr Arnold Johannes, a former educator of Max and now one of his loyal supporters, \u201cI am super excited. To be able to see what one can do in terms of contributing to somebody else\u2019s happiness brings joy to my heart. Seeing how the community\u2019s support has helped and transformed Max sparks the enthusiasm to want to do even more.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Elvida Klue, another supporter of Max, agreed with what Dr Johannes said. \u201cIt is a passion of mine to help another, irrespective of who it is. It brings so much joy, because helping another has a ripple effect and that is what we need in our community.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> The entry fee to participate in the fun run or walk is R30 per person and the action starts at 07:30 at the Uitenhage Cricket Club (opposite the Uitenhage Indoor Sport Centre).
