Wade DeBruin is the inspiration for the workout listed above and the Wade's Army effort undertaken by Power Athletes around the world. He was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma at 18 months, an aggressive form of cancer attacking the nerve tissues in the body. He lost his fight on November 12, 2011; he was two just years old. To remember Wade's battle, Power Athlete HQ created the Wade's Army charity effort to raise money for the fight against pediatric cancer. Wade is survived by his parents, Heather & Scott, his older sister and twin sister. For more information and to donate please read the Wade’s Army page on Power Athlete HQ.
WADE’S ARMY MISSION
WADE’S ARMY is enlisting Power Athletes from around the world to join in the fight against Neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of pediatric cancer developing in the nerve tissues. Our objective is to bring the fight against this form of deadly disease and remember Wade DeBruin and his battle. We lost him at the age of two and our goal is to fund research and bring support to the brave child and families affected by this fatal pediatric cancer.
Throughout 2015, Wade’s Army will be campaigning throughout several different channels and promotions in an effort to spread Neuroblastoma awareness to a large audience. Thursday, November 12th, 2015 all of Wade’s Army’s efforts will lead up to our 4th annual Wade’s Day. This will include a workout dedicated to Wade DeBruin and his fight against Neuroblastoma hosted byPower Athlete. Spread the word about brave Wade, enlist in Wade’s Army and our fundraising efforts! Donations go along way, but helping spread the awareness of Neuroblastoma and recruiting more to the cause will help us reach our goal!
