LIFE TIME FITNESS TO RAISE MONEY FOR AUGIE’S QUEST
Augie’s Quest -- Augie Nieto, a prominent leader in the nation’s fitness industry for nearly three decades, received a diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease) in March 2005. Later that year, Augie and his wife, Lynne, created the Augie’s Quest initiative in conjunction with the Muscular Dystrophy Association. In the first two years, Augie’s Quest has raised over $12 million for ALS research. Augie, 50, is approaching his role as co-chairperson of MDA’s ALS division with the same ironclad will and determination that catapulted him to entrepreneurial heights in the fitness world.
Life Time Fitness Fundraiser – Life Time Fitness members and guests can make a donation to Augie’s Quest and ALS research during Saturday’s events. Group Fitness Instructors will be accepting cash and check donations before and after classes. Donations can also be made at the Front Desk or the Activity Center Desk at the club.
