We are almost at 200 signatures — and I just want to say THANK YOU to every single person who has supported, shared, and believed in this effort. This is more than just a petition. This is about families. This is about our youth. This is about giving kids a real opportunity to change their direction and build a future. As a former cadet, I’ve seen firsthand what this program does… not just for individuals, but for entire families. And over the last 18 years, I’ve continued to watch lives change because of it. Today, I will be speaking with a reporter about the closure of the Florida Youth ChalleNGe Academy and what this program truly means to so many of us. I’m not speaking just for myself; I’m speaking for the hundreds of voices behind this petition, for the families who have been impacted, and for the youth who haven’t yet had the chance to experience it. This program has always been more than a program. For many of us… it’s been home. And I truly believe it still has a purpose for future generations. If you haven’t signed yet, please take a moment to do so and continue sharing. Every voice matters, and we are building something together. This is our chance to be heard. This is our chance to make a difference. Challenge accepted. 💪
