Male Fitness Model No. 1: Jed Hill

January 1, 2011

Resilience, faith, tenacity and strength is what we will all need as we face the challenges of the new year. As you may have read yesterday, Jed Hill sent an update about the painful event he went through last November 2010. Today, Jed faces a new beginning, like most of us. Although not all of us maybe beginning a year from scratch, it’s time for us to re-start, re-new and re-do things. It’s time for us to have a new outlook in life and have a fresher perspective of the days ahead.

There’s a lot of challenges ahead and the road is paved with life’s troubles that each and every one of us have to face. However, we must move on and believe that great things are ahead of us and act in such a way that will bring us success! For the first male fitness model feature of 2011, here’s Jed Hill!

Jed Hill Update

Early this month, I blogged about Jed Hill, a male fitness model who lost everything he owned because of a house fire. Through the webmaster of JedHill.com (http://www.jedhill.com), the site that was donated to Jed to accept donations for the incident, we were informed of this event and was sent a message by Jed to the fitness community whom he so much admired and respected. Below is Jed’s most recent update about this event in his life.

Dec 26,2010 — Almost six weeks ago I went through a life changing experience, thankfully with everyone’s prayers and positivity I was able to pull through as much as possible. As the holidays came and are now coming to an end it really took an emotional toll on me, not having a home I can call my own has been very tough. I have been carrying on as normally as I possibly can, running to auditions and acting lessons, doing everything in my will to achieve my personal goals in life and really just follow my dream. No doubt the heavy burden of figuring out where I was sleeping next and living out of a suitcase is always on my mind but I refuse to let it get in the way of what I came out here for. Not having many friends or family in LA, my Thanksgiving was spent giving back to the community, I donated my time feeding the underprivileged, having lost everything and really having nothing, I can relate and it just felt really good to make people smile with even just a meal. As of January 1, I will be moving into my very own apt. I never imagined how difficult it can be to start from the ground up. Hopefully with the new year, new wonderful things will come with it. Not having any furniture or a lot of clothing will make it easy to move in but the emptiness of it will just not feel very home like. I am truly blessed to have some really great people on my side but it’s a lot of work, all the help I can get is greatly appreciated. If anyone can find it in their hearts to make any donations or help in any way possible, it can be life changing for me. Thank you all and God bless,

Jed

Last Sunday when I was in Boston, I received an e-mail regarding an event that happened to male fitness model Jed Hill. It’s a tragic story . I hope will encourage you to help this ambitious young man get back to his feet. Here’s what happened last November 10, 2010 in Jed Hill’s words.

On Nov 10th, I lost everything I owned (including my dog) in a house fire that was caused by an unknown heating problem. Before the fire, I moved to LA to pursue my modeling and acting career, not knowing anyone or having any family in LA, I was taking a leap of faith so that I can make my family proud. The night of the fire was one of the most devastating night of my life thus far, it was the first chilly night so I turned on the heat [before I] went into the shower. When I came out of the bathroom, my bedroom was up in flames. Not knowing how to react I quickly began to try and put the fire out but it was too late. The heavy dark smoke was blinding and it made it hard to breathe. I was in such shock I couldn’t react fast enough to grab my dog before he ran outside with no collar. The smoke finally got to me and I had to get out, watching everything I own and worked so hard for go up in flames in a matter of minutes. It is traumatizing. Having no home insurance, I am at a loss for everything.

I hope and appeal to your heart to help this model by visiting http://www.jedhill.com and donating whatever amount you can to his Paypal account.
