Fortified Fitness and CrossFit Fury have teamed up to raise money for FFAZ member, Sam Clark, who is battling cancer.

Sam is 28 years old, married and has a 7 month old baby. Sam was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, a Teratoma Tumor, in his chest that metastasized and differentiated into adenocarcinoma and it has gone to his lymph nodes in his neck and chest and his bones.

Sam had his first surgery to remove the original tumor and they discovered it had spread into his neck, chest and lung areas. He has had two surgeries since then to attempt to remove that cancer, and one surgery on his hip to stabilize where the cancer had gone to. For all of the other bone spots he has gotten radiation.

Before moving to Arizona, he completed 5 rounds of his 12 rounds of chemo, when they discovered it was ineffective. They were told that eventually it will spread to his organs and Sam would not make it. There's no cure at this point, and Sam did not receive a great prognosis.

Sam and his family found a new doctor, relocated to Arizona, and he is now doing some alternative treatments including a low dose chemo to continue to treat the leftover cancer the surgeries didn’t get from his chest and hopefully stop any new cancer from spreading.

As expected, it has been a tough road for Sam, Taylor and the rest of their family and friends.

This treatment is not covered by insurance, but they must pursue every avenue until they find a cure for Sam. Every dollar recieved from this competition will be donated to Sam and his family to pay for the treatments and support them through this difficult journey.
