Life's Peachy Fit in Byford ran a 24-hour marathon workout to raise money for Telethon.

Life's Peachy Fit gym in Byford held a 24-hour marathon fundraiser for Telethon over the weekend, opening its doors around the clock to run a fresh workout session every hour. Each of the 24 workouts was named after a Little Telethon Star dating back to 2019, with the specific exercises, repetitions and intensity crafted to reflect the courage and daily perseverance of each child's health journey.

Nine-year-old Xavier Summers, the 2025 Little Telethon Star who lives with cerebral palsy, was the special guest for the first workout. He joined gym owner Ben Luckens for dumbbell snatches, ski ergometer work and shuttle runs. His mother, Lesa Summers, said hearing that a gym had created a workout specifically in honour of her son was incredibly heartwarming. She said Xavier had an absolute blast and enjoys working out, especially with people cheering him on.
