HELP AND SUPPORT FOR STEVE CARBERRY

Our Fitness First community is raising money to support one of our fantastic group fitness instructors, Steve Carberry, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment.

 

Steve is the longest serving Group Fitness Instructor at Fitness First Pennant Hills with over 18 years' experience and 25 years' experience at Vital Health Club and Fitness First combined. Steve currently instructs Les Mills Body Pump, RPM and Body Balance.​

 

Steve launched RPM at Pennant Hills with fitness royalty Michelle Bridges. In the past, Steve instructed Step, Step Moves and New Body. Steve's fitness journey began at 23. In his hometown of Kandos he started instructing classes in Community Hall with a Boom Box and no microphone! He moved to Sydney 30 years ago, where his fitness journey continued to flourish.​

 

Steve has recently been diagnosed with Oesophageal Cancer…. Within less than two weeks Steve was undergoing treatment at RNSH - Northern Sydney Cancer Centre. The Cancer has Steve losing lots of weight and muscles because he can’t eat solid food, and he finds it difficult to even drink water. He recently spent two nights in RNSH with very low blood pressure and was very dehydrated, which resulted in a Code Blue. He is now at home and resting and trying to rehydrate his body.​

 

Steve has just completed 10 days of Radiation Treatment and will soon commence Chemotherapy. Steve is finding being sick a full-time job with his various medical appointments.

 

With this comes some consequences for Steve; he is unable to work. We hope to lighten his financial worries while he is going through the treatment. ​

 

Anything small would be incredibly beneficial and provide valuable support during this difficult time. ​
