Mr Universe Championship!

To all my friends and family out there,

I am Raja Narendra body builder from Hyderabad (India).Please help me make a long term dream of mine and my father's come true by helping me travel to Los Angeles California on the 9th November 2019 to compete for Mr.Universe Championship and Amateur Natural Olympia on 14th November, 2019 at Las Vegas, Nevada.I have recently won the Bronze medal in the International Asia Pacific Body Building Competition,and earned a place in Mr Universe competition held in Los Angeles,this November which hasn't came easy!. All this was not possible overnight.My journey started when i was 14 years with many difficulties but I was determined to become bodybuilder and represent India in international competitions.

The only thing harder than being an body builder is coming from a middle class family and trying to be body builder.My father wanted to become a bodybuilder, but my grand-father did not support him,so he encouraged his three children to become bodybuilders.All three of us are national bodybuilders today.In a day,I spend 2-4 hours in the gym and follows a special diet which helps my body get sufficient nutrients and I work very hard to meet my gym and diet expenses which are very expensive.

My dream is always to win the gold and make my father and India proud.I know that the competition is going to be extremely tough all the athletes will be much better prepared but I am confident with my preparations that I can give a tough competition.I never used or will ever use any kind of steroids like many bodybuilders are using these days which is very unfortunate.Just to get instant muscled body,people use steroids which are very dangerous. They are not aware that when a person is entering or preparing for international competitions,he/she should not have used any kind of drug for seven years.On an average, nearly 20-30 deaths are recorded in India due to the use of steroids, which i am fighting against and educating people about the irreversible and life threatening side effects of steroids. We body builders are not even allowed to take a simple medications like Paracetamol without prescription. Only those with clean bodies can enter such competitions. I have been always true to my self and bodybuilding all my life I never took any shortcut or easy ways to reach my goals.I put my blood, sweat, and tears into this sport. Without support my years of effort and hard work will go in vain. Please help me get one step closer to being able to take up this opportunity and show the bodybuilding world what I am made of!

I'm usually not one to ask for help but I am helpless and since the pursuit of this dream to the professional stage required sacrifices to be made such as my job in particular, I've turned to the people following my journey to ask for support. Even the smallest donation will help with expenses such as flights, accommodation, fees etc.I thank you all in advance from the bottom of my heart for making this dream a possibility for me!
