A former cross-country runner, Samantha discovered a love for weightlifting thanks to her close friend and teammate. Due to her cancer diagnosis, Samantha had to put her passion for weightlifting on hold.

When it came time to make her wish, Samantha shared something powerful: she was tired of “feeling weak” and dreamed of having a home gym to “regain her strength and independence.” Working out has been a lifeline for Samantha—not just physically, but mentally.

On her wish day, she came home to the ultimate surprise: “Oh my goodness, I came home to the biggest surprise ever! I'm so very happy and thankful for this gym! Thank you so much for making my wish come true!” Now, she and her entire family are enjoying their brand-new home gym. Samantha, your strength and spirit inspire us all!

Heartfelt thanks to the generous supporters who made Samantha’s wish possible!
