Surviving a rare cancer at 15 to creating the Corefirst training system

Corefirst

Doniphan Stone

Doniphan Stone survived cancer at the young age of 15. He not only survived it, but he regained his strength and became a Junior Olympic medalist in Taekwondo and played Division II collegiate soccer.

Today, he is the co-author of the book Fearless Devotion, which is about creating and achieving your goals from the inside out. He is also the Co-President and Founder of Corefirst™ and created the original Corefirst training system.

To say that Donny is an ‘overcomer’ seems like an understatement. I am confident Donny’s story will inspire you today.
