After losing his father to heart disease and receiving his own diagnosis of prehypertension, Ern knew he had to make a change. “At that moment, I said, No. I will be here for my family and I’m going to be the change that my family needs to put their health first.” 

Ern started running and began a journey that led to big changes: a vegetarian lifestyle, over 100 pounds of weight loss, new friends and a fresh approach to his mental health. “It’s helping me set goals to unlock the best version of myself,” Ern says.
