One of our Renov8 Fitness core values is “Community Consciousness.” Not only do we try to be environmentally friendly within our community any moment we can, but we also love to give back to our community through charity work and donations.

I am happy to share that Renov8 Fitness presents five (5) special donation-based workouts for all skill levels this Saturday, June 10th, in support of baby Melanie Sanchez who was diagnosed at the tender age of 2 months with a rare end stage disease known as Biliary Artesia. The donation is $21/person with a maximum of 25 people. This event is open to the public on a first come, first serve basis.

Baby Melanie’s parents were told that without surgical intervention, very few babies with Biliary Atresia live past their second birthday. She immediately underwent surgery to try and save her liver. Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful and Melanie suffered liver failure, causing fluid to build up in her abdomen, which then put pressure on her stomach and lungs. She was in critical condition at the pediatric intensive care unit of Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, where she was sedated and intubated since she was unable to eat or breathe on her own. At that point, her only chance of survival was to receive a liver transplant, which she did recently receive and is now recovering with her new liver.

Baby Melanie was recently downgraded on her breathing tube and her liver is working well. Her labs look good and continue to trend down. She’s also been weening off pain killers and sedation medicine, although she is still not eating. She receives her nutrition through an IV and her parents pray every day that she keeps getting better and will be able to come home soon with her family.

Here’s where you come in! Help cover the costs of Baby Melanie’s stay at Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles by joining us for a special workout session for all skill levels — only a $21 donation/person for one workout. All proceeds ($1 covers transaction fees) go to Baby Melanie’s GoFundMe account to help with the cost of extending her life. Also, if you are unable to make it to one of the workouts that day, you can make your own donation at https://www.gofundme.com/baby-melanie-fund. Help us spread the word!
