"This home, my home, is a place for refuge," he said. "Without the Boys & Girls Club, I wouldn't be the man I am today."
Williams recently hiked 72 miles and climbed three mountains in two weeks, which proved to him that he could do anything he put his mind to, he said.

"The club only puts out what we put in, so I put my all in it every day," he explained.
