麻豆社 Gladiator completes fundraiser in son's memory

Available for over a year

A 麻豆社 Gladiators star has completed a 13-day sporting challenge to raise money for a new charity he and his wife launched following the death of their premature son. Zack George, who appears on the show under the name Steel, and his wife Samantha decided to complete a mile (1.6 km) of burpees every day for 13 days, finishing on Saturday, to raise money for their charity, Leo and Friends, which was launched in memory of their son who died in April. Leo was born at 23 weeks in March, and spent 13 days in the neonatal intensive care unit at the Leicester Royal Infirmary before he died. After 10,500 burpees completed and more than 拢33,000 raised, Mr George spoke to 麻豆社 Leicester's Izzy Bushell.
