On October 22, our good friend Ryan Gillespie, the owner of Peak Athletics in Wilmington, NC sustained a neck injury, resulting in multiple fractures on several vertebrae, ruptured discs, and significant ligament and tendon damage in his neck after an accident falling headfirst through an attic ceiling and landing on his head/neck.
Ryan is the loving father of 3 wonderful children and has always brought the best out in everyone and has dedicated his life to helping others. He has transformed the lives of many through guiding people toward meeting their personal goals, overcoming injuries, and molding elite athletes. Ryan is one of the driving forces for “Rock Steady Boxing”, a boxing inspired workout group for people battling Parkinson’s disease. He spends his time coaching his children’s soccer teams and leading young men and women on and off the fields.
As a gym owner, times have been extremely difficult and after FINALLY being able to re-open his gym, he has now sustained injuries that have left him with outstanding medical bills and he won’t be able to perform some of his basic duties for some time. Ryan does NOT currently have health insurance which is why I have set up this page. Ryan will need surgery to repair the damage and significant long-term physical therapy to help him get back on top of everything.
I have put this fundraiser together for his 3 children and outstanding medical bills. Ryan does not have health insurance so none of his medical expenses are covered. They are all out of pocket expenses. Your contributions will help secure his livelihood and business to stay open and provide support for his family and medical bills.
Your support for the Gillespie family, whose needs have been drastically altered due to this recent event, would be most appreciated. We hope you will consider donating to the Gillespie family during this challenging time. If you would like to learn about other ways of contributing to this great cause via food, assistance, etc.. please contact any of us directly. Our numbers are below.
