On 3rd March, our brother Chris Bradley was all set for the grand opening of his gym, Iron Zuu Gloucester. A dream of 16yrs finally coming to fruition, Chris put his heart and soul into setting this venture up. But then the Beast from the East paid us a visit, and Chris made the sensible decision to postpone the opening, preferring for his clients, family and friends to remain safe at home.

The very next day however, Chris had an horrific car accident, sustaining major injuries to his chest and abdomen, requiring surgery and a stay in ITU. We are, without doubt, extremely lucky to still have him.

Chris is an extremely fit, healthy and strong young man, and positivity and motivation pour out of him by the bucket load. This is no doubt helping his recovery, but under strict doctor’s orders the reality is he isnt going to be up and running for a few weeks yet.

As a family, we’ve been blown away by the number of enquiries we‘ve had from Chris’ friends and clients asking how they can help him, with many asking if there’s a crowdfunding page for him. So after much consideration, we’ve decided to go ahead with setting up a page for him. This is about taking the pressure and stress of keeping things ticking over off Chris , so that all of his energy can go in to recovering and getting strong again.

For those who know him well, you’ll know that he’s champing at the bit to get well, be back at home with his wolfpack (his three gorgeous boys for those who dont know his lingo so well!) and get his dream back on track, so lets collectively help him along the way. As Chris would say, “Get a touch!”
