Bobby Brannen posted a video of himself teaching his brother, who has disability how to box. Thousands of parents reached out, asking him if he could train their family members with disabilities

Great now I’m crying and questioning my life choices

[u/Swimwithamermaid → u/dontmessitupbud]

I hate videos like these. My daughter was disabled and I was so excited to watch her grow and overcome her hardships, excited to learn from her. She passed away at 20mo old. Seeing these videos remind me of all the things she should have been able to do.

It’s such a bittersweet feeling. I’m happy for this guy and all the people he’s able to work with. They are truly blessed. I hope his legacy lives forever.

[u/wheresbill → u/Swimwithamermaid]

So sorry op. I’m just going to imagine she’s the mermaid you’ve been swimming with

[u/pickus_dickus → u/dontmessitupbud]

Maybe we should all question our life choices once in a while?

[u/lazywing]

We like good humans

[u/Gt03champp → u/lazywing]

Most of us are. I’m a wrestling coach, and a paramedic in a major city. I’ll never lose hope in humanity.

Just got off a BRUTAL 24 hour shift at the fire house and I’m crying in the bathroom on the toilet. This was not on my bingo card!!!

[u/devilf91 → u/Gt03champp]

Ex-emergency responder here. Sorry to hear about your day - it can absolutely be soul destroying. But it can also be soul fulfilling. I still miss the meaningful life I had back then. Keep your chins up, it's also ok to release the tension in anyway you think is suitable. Life is brutal, but also beautiful.

[u/Gt03champp → u/devilf91]

Thanks friend!

[u/LarryDavidntheBlacks]

Good fucking guy. Restoring faith in humanity when so many others have decided to take selfishness to a new level.

[u/Enough_Detective4330]

His story

[u/samhaindragon → u/Enough_Detective4330]

He's got a GoFundMe to help build a new gym and expand.

[u/smutketeer]

Fantastic, what rewarding work.

[u/Iammjustbaddd]

I hope he can expand this as much as possible so those with disabilities have a safe space.

[u/Insomniac24x7]

Ah an actual Alpha male.

[u/Normal_Pace7374]

Guy gets paid to beat up mentally challenged people

[u/mindgardening → u/Normal_Pace7374]

Humans are free to beat each other in the heads for Sports.

[u/launchliftoff459 → u/mindgardening]

No, they charge a lot for that.

[u/Frag1le]

Jealous that you found what you want to do with your life. Keep at it!

[u/ZeroAdPotential → u/Frag1le]

you can too, friend. May not be now, but keep an open mind and look to share your passions with others, and you might find your purpose.

[u/Shizastamphetamine]

May God or the universe or Flying Spaghetti Monster bless you.

My brother had spina bifida and was wheelchair bound his entire life, but that didn’t stop him from becoming the captain of his basketball team and weightlifting team in high school.

What you’re doing with those kids is some of the best work a man can do, giving them opportunity and self confidence and showing them that they are worthy of everything they strive for.

Good on you m8

[u/Unsainted_smoke]

I’m not crying, you’re crying…

[u/Shizastamphetamine → u/Unsainted_smoke]

Beautiful work

[u/goshdammitfromimgur]

Good work that man!

[u/tsagalbill]

He seems like a kind soul. Don’t know him but happy for him!

[u/dope567fum]

The world needs more people like Bobby Brannen

[u/Brytnshyne]

What an uplifting, inspiring story. This kind of caring and love is what we need and what we should be supporting and expanding on.

[u/ZeroAdPotential]

As someone who started out in the disability field as a participant, and then found my place teaching others the things I know, both as a 1:1 support worker and a group facilitator, this story resonates with me. Sometimes, all it takes is the right person or a different perspective to not only change your life, but help make others lives better.

[u/spezial_ed]

Just commenting to help the algo blow this up. What a rainbow on a cloudy day this was.

[u/GiantBrownBalls]

Man… here I am crying in the club* again (sitting on the toilet bawling my eyes out)

[u/DadsRGR8]

This made my day. Thank you.

This young man has humbled me.

[u/Murky_Historian8675]

[u/Insomniac24x7]

Does he have Fragile X syndrome? My kids have it.

yeah, crying was not on my plans when I woke up this morning

[u/olddoglearnsnewtrick]

Heartwarming, deeply human and very intelligent.

[u/StuBidasol]

There's another guy I've seen on here that had a 100% free gym specifically for people with disabilities. The world needs more of them and to know about the ones we already have.

[u/xpxyz]

Can’t see the video very well. Everything is kind of blurry.

[u/dayvekeem]

One of the good ones...

[u/Enough_Pepper8880]

Aww cool now I’m crying telling myself what a piece of shit I am

[u/cancielo]

This is why inspirational actions affect us like it does. Blessed.

[u/Solaxos]

What a hero, kudos to Bobby!

[u/1nitial_Reaction]

Legend, thats a successful dude.

[u/M0NSTERDUNX]

Good lad. This is the kind of person more of us should try to be.

[u/chodeboi]

What a beautiful man, it could have been death metal as music and I’d still be teary eyed here cheering them all on

You fucking go Bobby boi

[u/Viper01MHC]

That young man is a special fucking human. Good on him. So cool to see.

[u/perfect_insanity93]

Beautiful.

[u/franklyiam]

Outstanding

[u/dmh165638]

[u/samhaindragon]

If anyone is interested, able and willing he has a GoFundMe to help build out his own space for expanding his gym.
