Training for a Cause in Support of the Leung Family

On June 14^th at 9 AM we will be hosting our monthly fundraiser. This time we are excited to be raising funds for The Boston Children’s Hospital’s Mighty Metabolites and Kai Leung.

Kai is the beautiful daughter of Howie and Colleen Leung who are both teachers in the community.  You may recognize Colleen as she was apart of the “Suck it up Buttercups” team that won our S3 challenge last year. Her beautiful family is pictured.  A few days after Kai was born she was diagnosed with Glutaric Acidemia, Type 1. This is a rare metabolic disorder in which their bodies cannot break down protein from the food they eat.  Howie and Colleen work closely with specialists at Boston Children’s Hospital to make sure Kai receives the care necessary to thrive, including special dietary requirements.

The Metabolic Clinic at Children’s Hospital closely follows their young patient’s with conditions like Kai’s.  Treatments and close management from multiple specialists can be very costly.  100% of the money raised at our Training for a Cause event on June 14th will go directly toward helping these children.  Our goal is not only to raise money, but to also raise awareness.

We hope to see you all on June 14th at 9 AM to get a bonus training in and support beautiful families like the one above 🙂

Please remember this is a community event. We would love to see you bring your family and friends and show them how the Get Fit NH family trains together for a GREAT cause!

See you all there,

Coach Erin
