Stride For Lives REBEKAH VAN NATTA

Join us in the 21-Day Pyramid Fitness Challenge to boost your strength, stamina, and endurance while supporting Oscar, a self-employed landscaper and father of four, battling stage 4 stomach cancer. Diagnosed five months ago, Oscar’s health has declined, causing weight loss and severe pain, adding financial strain despite medical insurance.

Through The Stride Project, we aim to cover medical bills and daily expenses, easing the burden on Oscar and his caretaker mother. Your contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Support Oscar and his family in this difficult journey. #strideforlives
