The fitness community extends all across the globe and the bonds formed go way beyond just lifting weights or breaking personal records of one another to win. The interconnectedness serves as a reminder that how several athletes come together despite their daily disputes and being there for one another.

The fitness community came together and showed strong support, care, and togetherness. A local fitness trainer was seen pulling up funds to support an athlete and save him from a life-threatening illness.

Treating Leukemia requires plenty of assertions, not just monetary, but strong will too. Well, with the young athlete’s dedication to getting back to the place where he is the happiest, Foundations Fitness was inspired and is all set to do whatever it takes to get Sporleder back on track. A lot of people are even calling this an inspirational story, too.

That’s kind of what made me want to put this event on because this is something that he enjoys.”
