Help Ivan Recover and Get Back to Doing What He Loves

Ivan is one of those rare people who lifts everyone around him—literally and figuratively. As a personal trainer and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt, he’s spent years helping others become stronger, healthier, and more confident. Whether it’s rallying friends for a group run, coaching teammates through personal training sessions/competitions, or simply showing up with encouragement and energy, Ivan is the heartbeat of his community.

Now, Ivan is recovering from major surgery and a challenging recovery period. As someone who is self-employed, this means time away from work and the people he loves to support. While he focuses on healing, we have an opportunity to give back to someone who’s given so much.

This fundraiser is a way for friends, clients, training partners, and anyone touched by Ivan’s generosity to help ease the financial pressure during his recovery. Every contribution—big or small—will help cover essential living costs while he’s unable to work, and allow him to focus fully on getting well.

Let’s show Ivan the same strength and support he’s always shown us.

Thank you for being part of this.
