Bodybuilding?as a sport is certainly one of the toughest sports individuals undertake. A sport that is as challenging mentally as it is physically straining. However, when these bodybuilders see their loved ones fighting for their lives, those strongmen also feel helpless. Phil Heath’s sister-in-law, Jeannie, is going through a difficult time as she is battling a ruthless disease: cancer. And Heath cannot be more supportive and loving than he already is.

Even after winning?Mr. Olympia?seven times, Heath never shows any subtle signs of superior ego. Instead, his fans are accepting of his demeanor, but when he talks about his sister-in-law’s difficult time in life, everyone’s heart melts.

Jeannie’s journey and her fight against the disease is undoubtedly praiseworthy. As she got the courage to shave off her head, the world hails the warrior.

The warrior who was created: Jeannie

In Tony Deida’s latest Instagram post, he shares the post with Jeannie herself, in her new look. In the caption of the post, he wrote something with incredibly deep insight. He sheds light on the fact that no warrior is simply born. They are all the results of their own improvements. Thus, they are not created, but they are developed by themselves. He stated,?“Warriors are not born and they are not made. Warriors create themselves through trial and error, pain and suffering, and their ability to conquer their own faults…Cancer SUCKS, But We are Coming Out Swingin?!”
