Hey everyone, it's the team from Baker Street Fitness First! We wanted to tell you a story about one of our Personal Trainers son’s, Jeevan that is incredibly close to our hearts and reach out to our members/friends for help about

Jeevan is the eldest son of Jenel, a PT who has been at Baker Street for over 15 years and who is very much the father of our FF family.
Jenels son Jeevan has faced medical challenges from birth and over the years the family have all learnt to make sure he enjoys his life to the utmost.

At the beginning of 2022 Jeevan faced a life threatening illness, doctors were worried for his survival at points and life stopped for the entire family as they held their breath for him.

Jeevan fought bravely in ICU at Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital. He is now stable and home but along this road his life has forever changed. Jeevan now requires a wheelchair and a permanent tracheotomy for breathing assistance.

Jenel, who has always treated us with love and kindness; had to take months off of work to care for his son and the rest of his family. It's been an indescribably challenging journey for them, which is why we've come together to try and help make a difference.

The team at Fitness First Baker Street is on a mission to raise £10,000 to support Jenel, Jeevan, the entire family and Great Ormond Street Hospital.

A generous member of our gym has offered to match every contribution, doubling the impact of your donation. Our target is to raise £5,000, which will then be matched with an additional £5,000.

These funds will go towards essential equipment and assistance needed for his 24hr care at home. Additionally, we want to give back to Great Ormond St. Children's Hospital, the incredible institution that saved Jeevan's life and continues to provide ongoing help.

To help raise this amount, we are asking our members to sponsor 4 of our Team as they embark on a London to Brighton Cycling Challenge on September 9th! On September 9th, we've got a challenge planned – Dan, Omari, Sam, and Will are going to cycle all the way from London to Brighton. Yeah, none of us are pros, so it's gonna be a real adventure.

One of our gym members has been super generous and offered to match every donation we get! That means if we raise £5,000, they'll add another £5,000 to make it a grand total of £10,000!

We're incredibly grateful for every pound you can spare. Together, we can make a huge difference in Jeevan's life and support the awesome work at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital.

Please consider sponsoring us individually or as a team. We know it won't be easy, but we're determined to push ourselves for this important cause.

Thanks a bunch for your support – it means the world to us and Jeevan's family!

Let's do this together! 🚴🌟
