Yesterday we received the sad and unfortunate news that Eli Matthews (age 10) passed away after a courageous battle with Leukemia.
Eli was a friend of the gym and the inspiration behind all of our "Kick-A-Thons" to raise money for cancer research. He was an honorary member of our gym and Instructor Bill Hammond was proud to support his part in Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.
Eli's life and passing reminds us how lucky we are to have our health and the people around us. It also reminds us to make the most out of our training and lives.
Our thoughts are with Eli and his family.
