Imagine you have one all-consuming passion in life. The thing you can’t live without. And suddenly, an illness threatens to take this very thing away from you.
Michael Hopes of Lancaster, Pennsylvania is 27 years old. He’s a pro wrestler, and in the wrestling world, he is known as Tim Donst. Hopes began his training at the age of 16. “I wrestled in high school, and also did some theater, so to me, it was the perfect mesh of both worlds,” he recalled.
