On Saturday, May 1, 2021, Greg Golliher experienced a life-changing event: a stroke. The world around him transformed dramatically, presenting new and daunting challenges. However, some things remained steadfast in Greg’s life – his strength, hard work, determination, and above all, his passion for fishing. With unwavering support from his wife and family, the Oshkosh YMCA, and his dedicated YMCA personal trainer, Ashleigh, Greg has made incredible strides in his recovery journey.

His journey has been nothing short of inspiring, as he channels his passion and willpower to overcome obstacles and pursue the activities he loves.
A Community of Support
The YMCA and the DAV, or Disabled American Veterans group, understand the importance of community support. The DAV stepped in to sponsor Greg, who is a veteran, by covering the costs of his training sessions.
This generous sponsorship was presented to Greg in a ceremony attended by his family, who expressed their gratitude for the support extended by the Y and the DAV. The sense of community and solidarity was strong as Greg received this gift, marking a significant milestone in his recovery journey.
