Board of Directors Involvement
The ALL ME® League was created so that professional and young athletes alike can help raise awareness of the growing use of appearance and performance enhancing substances. These role models are inspiring others to achieve their goals all on their own. Elite athletes from across the world have taken the pledge to live and compete without the use of appearance and performance enhancing substances. View Mandy’s Athlete Profile here.
