Fuck. Just about as bad of news as it gets. The entire season flashing before our eyes. #RedemptionTour canceled. After a solid 2-1 start too. Devastating.

BUT WAIT.

The report that I’m currently missing the rest of the season is not accurate. There is a forearm strain… I’m hopeful that with some rest it will heal and I’ll be able to return soon. Thank you for all the well wishes. 🙏🏻
