Empty Your Pockets Folks
I am totally kidding about the title, this blog is just to remind everyone of the boot camp I am hosting with Hannah, Lauren, and Jade next Saturday on July 20th at 10am. I created this boot camp in an effort to raise money for Irina. Irina is a friend of one my personal training clients named Sasha. Every month, Irina flies into Pittsburgh for cancer treatment from Ukraine. Sasha lets her stay at her home for free, picks her up from the Pittsburgh airport, and drives her to all of her appointments. For those that don’t know, this cancer treatment is saving Irinas life. She does not have access to the cancer treatment that she needs in Ukraine because of the war. Irina also does not want to move to the United States because her husband is stuck in Ukraine due to him being under the age of 60 and being required to stay in Ukraine as a military obligation. Along with that, Sashas husband is a physician at AHN, so Irina also benefits from retrieving her treatment at AHN in Pittsburgh. As you can imagine, traveling out of Ukraine during the war with Russia is very difficult. Irina has to take two trains to Poland and then multiple flights from Poland to Pittsburgh every single month. It is a very costly expense and that is why I want to help her.
Sasha has been lifelong friends with Irina because both Sasha and her husband are from Ukraine as well. Irinas husband actually taught Sashas children Karate many years ago. That is where the connection lies and why Sasha and her husband help Irina as much as they can.
I know that we have issues in the United States and our economy is not the best. However, if you could spare any money at all or promote this on your social media I would really appreciate it. Any little thing helps and this money can be a giant help to Irina who is in need.
Again, I will be hosting a bootcamp on July 20th at 10am that will consist of weight training, cardio, and will finish up with some yoga on the front lawn. If you can make it down that would be great and if not, no worries at all. Like I mentioned above, any little thing helps and I appreciate you all! We have flyers posted all around our gym and the North shore with the go fund me link as well as in our instagram bio!
Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope this gives a better understanding of the situation!!
