About Us - Curt Garrett

Curt is a retired quad rugby (aka murderball) player. He's one of the "old boys". His rugby career started in 1993 and his love for the game was immediate and intense.

Curt was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at the age of 2. He deals with pain on a daily basis. Playing such a hard-hitting sport, intensified his pain. His recovery time was noticeably excruciating and almost intolerable. But, he loved the sport too much to quit.

Some dear friends introduced him to a recovery drink, hoping it would help him. His recovery time was reduced from days to hours. The pain he used to experience during his recovery became manageable.

He is now working to let others know that recovery doesn't have to be long or painful.

Curt still uses this recovery drink whenever he over-exerts himself. It will work whether you've just mowed your lawn or participated in a decathlon.

Contact Curt if you have any questions. Or give it a try and tell us your story.

In Fond Memory of Art Levy

Art Levy, a co-founder of "The Starting Blocks", passed on September 4, 2007. He held the DPS record in the 100-yard dash at 9.6 and a record in the 220-yard dash of 20.9. A true athlete as well as a true friend. He would break all records running to your side when you needed him.

Family was his priority. He was always the one with the annoying cell phone in a meeting, or at the movies. If any of his children or grandchildren were in distress, the movie could wait, the meeting was over.

Art had a wonderful career working with children at Denver Parks and Rec. In his spare time, he ran track and field programs. In his spare, spare time he worked with individuals as a Shaklee Independent Distributor, hoping to "improve their game". He was a mentor to everyone he met. He was loved and cherished by everyone.

His 5 beautiful daughters, eleven grandchildren, and many more to come are left with his legacy.

We are honored to have known and worked with Art Levy. We wish all of you could have known this wonderful, gentle person. This blog is dedicated to Art Levy, and was begun in memory of him and his passion.

He will be greatly missed.
