This is a past due congrats to my longtime client and friend, CJ Piantieri, for getting inducted into the Special Olympics Florida Hall of Fame! This is great recognition for his years of consistent training and hard work. Here’s what the article had to say: “Charles “CJ” Piantieri has been an athlete for more than 20 years, embodying the very best of Special Olympics Florida. As a powerlifter, he has won four gold medals at the Special Olympics USA Games and four silver medals at the Special Olympics World Games. CJ is an enthusiastic volunteer and a dedicated advocate for our organization, helping each year with fundraisers such as the Torch Icon Campaign at Publix, A Night with Our Stars, and Rosemary’s Challenge.” CJ has actually won close to 100 medals now, but who’s counting. Well, he is. You can read the full description about all of the inductees here:
