SUPPORT JOHNNY and JODI G.

Many of you watched with sadness as you viewed the death and destruction caused by the Thomas Fire in California and most likely you heard that the same neighborhoods were dealt another blow this week when the rains caused massive flooding that destroyed many more  homes. What many of you don't know, is that one of the most loved men in the fitness world, Johnny G, founder of Spinning and the entire indoor cycling category, lost his home and everything in it.  There is nothing left.  All of his 60 years of belongings, memories, and history has been wiped away in one night.    VIDEO Luckily, a friend and business partner convinced Johnny and his wife Jodi to vacate the home just hours before the 3am flood took everything.  We are thankful that their lives have been spared and we want to help them as they recover.  My name is Joelle Mancuso,  I have known the Goldbergs for 30 years.  Together with the original tribe from the early Spinning days, I have  started this GOFUNDME to help the Goldberg's get back on their feet.  They left the house thinking they'd be back in the morning.  So, they didn't take a stitch of anything...no wallets, no credit cards, no clothes, nothing. Of course, $50,000 isn't going to give them their live back, but we can help them get back on their feet as they navigate the next 6 months of rebuilding the foundation of their lives.  No amount donated is too small. They will need: Housing Clothing Food Basically, everything you used during your day today, they don't have. If you don't know the Goldbergs: Jodi G (of Jodi G Designs) Johnny G (inventor of the global fitness phenomenon, Spinning) relocated to Montecito from Los Angeles in 2000 when Spinning was at the height of its global sucess.  Johnny is the globe's premier mind/body fitness representative and one of Men's Fitness magazine's 10 "All-Time Fitness Heroes" -- has revolutionized the fitness industry with his innovative athletic training programs. More than just workouts, his training sessions inspire participants to experience the rewards of harmonizing their minds and bodies through exercise. Please consider helping them. No amount is too small.   We  also have set up a photo site to help them gain some memories from those of you who have spent time with the Goldbergs over the last 30 years. PLEASE go here and upload any photos you have with the Goldbergs.  Thank you.   PHOTO SITE  As funds come in, I will be making weekly withdrawals and hand delivering them to Johnny and Jodi in Santa Barbara. I will also be sharing all of your comments and well wishes while they are working on getting back online. Please share this campaign far and wide among the fitness community.  Thank you.
