Help Nat pay for cancer treatment

Natalie Arena is the owner and head coach of CrossFit Corps in Tilton NH. She is the mother of 4 girls; her oldest Sarah, 25, is the mother of 2 children (her grandchildren Noah and Evelyn), Becca is 23, Madelyn is 13 and Lauren is 11. Natalie is a former United States Marine and was active duty as a Jet Mechanic for 5 years during Desert Storm. She has been a physical trainer for over 25 years and began her journey in CrossFit in 2008. She opened her first CrossFit gym in 2009 which was initially in the garage of her home and then moved to a warehouse in Clearwater, FL. In 2013, she and her family moved to NH and fell in love, so she opened her current gym. She has inspired and mentored hundreds of men, women and children throughout her physical fitness and CrossFit career by improving their health, giving guidance in healthy lifestyles and improving their physical fitness. In 2016, after the removal of her uterus, Natalie was found to have a cancerous fibroid tumor and was diagnosed with Leiomyosarcoma. Leiomyosarcoma is a very aggressive form of cancer that does not have much success with chemotherapy and radiation. Natalie was advised that there is a 70-80% chance that her cancer will return within the first year of diagnoses. At this point, Natalie is scheduled to undergo a month of alternative therapies in Tijuana, Mexico at the Immune Therapy Center, to prevent the recurrence and spread of her cancer. As this treatment is not FDA approved, all expenses will be out of pocket.
