The fundraiser aims to collect $50,000. When Phil Heath talked about it, some people had already given money. This shows that it’s not just one person who’s sick; many bodybuilders go through difficult times. Even though bodybuilding looks exciting, it often doesn’t give enough support to its athletes.
