Fit to Function - The Fitness Fund Scholarship

Brain injury does not discriminate, and every survivor knows that recovery is a long, hard process.

 

Fit to Function blends neuroadaptive fitness with cognitive-communication rehabilitation needs to maximize functional recovery through functional fitness.

 

Fitness is for everybody and every body, but not everyone has the means to pay for 1:1 training. The Fitness Fund was established to support athletes in need of financial assistance. Your contributions will provide much-needed personal training to help stroke & brain injury survivors get their lives back.

 

Lola is one of our athletes, and she was the catalyst for this fundraiser. Lola suffered a stroke at age 40, and spent the first year of her recovery regaining the ability to walk unassisted. In her first session back in the gym after nearly a year away, this former fitness junkie deadlifted, squatted, and got herself to and from the floor multiple times in an adapted version of burpees. She is taking her recovery to the next level, with increasing independence in the gym and beyond. On the one year anniversary of her stroke, she wanted to ensure that other survivors had the opportunity to do the same, and helped to lead the charge on our fundraising efforts. Since that time we have continued to raise money and help many more survivors recover better. Lola is now teaching Adaptive & Inclusive Yoga at Fit to Function, HQ!

Each athlete that receives financial assistance will be highlighted on our page so that supporters can follow these incredible recovery journeys. Since its inception, the Fitness Fund has enabled 25 individuals recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, MS, CP, PD, and FA find better recovery and function through fitness.

The next individual in need awaits. Donate today!
