Supporting Alex Byrd & Honoring Leslie Bernier

It is with heavy hearts that we come together to support our dear friend and gym family member, Alex Byrd, after the loss of her beloved mother, Leslie Bernier, following a courageous battle with cancer.

During Leslie’s illness, Alex stepped away from work to care for her mother with unwavering love and devotion. Now, while navigating profound grief, Alex is also facing unexpected expenses and financial strain during a time when healing should be her only focus.

This fundraiser is meant to help ease that burden—assisting with everyday living expenses, medical and memorial costs, and allowing Alex the time and space to grieve without added financial stress.

In addition to this online fundraiser, our gym community will be hosting a donation-based workout in honor of Leslie Bernier, with 100% of proceeds going directly to support Alex Byrd.

Pay what you can — every dollar goes to Alex

This workout is open to anyone who would like to move with purpose, show love, and stand beside Alex during this difficult time. Whether you’re able to attend the workout or donate online, every act of kindness makes a meaningful difference.

If you’re unable to give financially, sharing this fundraiser or keeping Alex and her family in your thoughts and prayers is just as appreciated.

Thank you for your compassion, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult season.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Dawn Richardson and Alex's L-FIT family
