Coach Tiffany has been a lightening bolt of energy, compassion, and encouragement to so many people in the Osceola area as a coach as Johnson's Elite Training since 2018 when she went from client to coach!
On December 1st, 2023- her life would never be the same: she was in a horrible car accident while on her way back home from her last noon session of the week when she was hit by an on-coming vehicle with no time to react.
When things didn't look good, God had other plans for Coach Tiffany. She was life flighted to Des Moines from the scene where she had life-saving surgery, going through over 37 units of blood. The surgery was a success, but only a temporary solution.
Over the next few weeks, while in Iowa City, Coach Tiffany went through countless surgeries. Fixing broken bones, rebuilding a hip socket, fixing a section of her femoral artery, and much more. She was literally fighting for her life while her husband, children, family, friends and gym community waited- hanging on, crying, praying, and finding ways to rally behind her.
Because of Coach Tiffany's toughness and grit, it was only a few months and she was transitioning to a rehabilitation center in Des Moines. Over the next few months and two rehabilitation center, she started her recovery journey. This phase has been nothing short of a miracle. And although Coach Tiffany is battling some lingering nerve damage, she has made leaps and bounds when it comes to be able to walk and regain her independence. She is back home with her family and adjusting to her, hopefully temporary, limitations.
This event is put together for the sole purpose of showing Coach Tiffany love and support from a community she's spent years helping get healthier, stronger, and fitter! 100% of your entry fees go to aiding Coach Tiffany in the on-going expenses with commuting to out-patient rehab 3 days per week along with the adjusted way of living with her current nerve damage, and hopefully giving her the ability to make memories with her family!
So if you're up to the challenge, Come and see if you're TUFF LIKE TIFFANY!
PS- This is an event for all fitness levels. Stations can be skipped, the course can be walked, and no times are being kept. It's simply a fun/condensed twist on your typical 5k mixed with some exercises and obstacles all for a great cause!
