This weekend was the USBA Bay State Breaking Challenge. As always it was an event filled with great competitive spirit, catching up with friends near and far, and breaking lots of stuff. But this event had even more meaning as we all had Mike Thomas, our martial arts/breaking brother, on our minds. He is fighting a medical crisis and the outcome is uncertain at the moment. It weighs heavy on us to know he is fighting this fight. We are praying for him to pull through and once again join us in the sport of breaking.Here are the heart felt opening remarks and prayers by USBA/WBA Director/Promoter Ken Goodrich, USBA/WBA Official Daniel Padin, and USBA/WBA Founder Ralph Bergamo.If anyone is interested in donating to Mike to help with the mounting medical costs please go to www.gofundme.com/f/mike-thomas-medical-fund...

As most of you are aware Mike Thomas is in the ICU in NY. Doctors still are uncertain of the cause behind seizures and other issues. He is currently in an induced coma state. Mike is a dedicated martial artist, a breaker, and a single dad. He is always willing to lend a hand and is the first to cheer on his fellow competitors. He does not have health insurance and the medical costs are accumulating quickly. If you are in the position to please consider a donation to this GoFundMe set up for him. We are all praying for him. www.facebook.com/groups/usbawba/permalink/10161370841115116/... See MoreSee Less
