"Allyson has been an athlete with us since the beginning. She's a huge part of our community ... if you're able to support her and her family during this time, we will have a spot for donations at the gym. Additionally, please take the time to sign the cards at the desk."
"Wow. We are over $800k in less than 24 hours," he later added. "I would say our goal is 1M. Please share with everyone you know. Allyson and family are truly grateful for all your support."
