Bodybuilding legend, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s life encircles around physical fitness and wellness. Hence, he often spotlights some of the greatest inspirational stories stemming from the public. Be it his podcast, social media posts, or newsletters, the icon has left no stone unturned to highlight these chronicles of motivation and zeal. On Friday, he was blown away by cancer amputee, Richie McPeak’s uphill battle to attain physical competence. 

McPeak’s journey is exceptional because he has been battling Sarcoma cancer for years, which contributed to a major chunk of his bodily struggles. In a recent Twitter post, he shared a brief note based on his life experiences. This, in turn, was reshared by Arnie with a heartfelt message. Here’s what he said. 

Arnold Schwarzenegger was amazed by a Cancer warrior’s passion

Per the Twitter update, the 75-year-old former athlete took a moment to recognize McPeak’s efforts toward leading a healthy lifestyle. Despite undergoing several surgeries and different treatments, the victim’s enthusiasm wasn’t dimmed. “You just can’t stop inspiring me,” the seven-time Mr. Olympia acknowledged.

The primary post elucidated a timeline of McPeak’s health issues throughout. The caption stated that in 2014, his knee, fibula, and tibia were “cut out” and “replaced with titanium rods and steel knee.” Moreover, his calf muscles were carved out and “sewn to rod and knee.”  Shockingly, this isn’t where the grim scenario ends, the survivor also underwent 400 hours of chemotherapy overall. Routinely exposed to it for 96 hours per session and ten weeks of radiation. Besides that, in 2020, amid the pandemic, his left leg was amputated, and two years later, a piece of his lung was removed.
