For Immediate Release
Gainesville, Florida, October 24, 2024- This October, as Breast Cancer Awareness Month
highlights the ongoing battle faced by millions, one woman is transforming the story of survival
with a daring and empowering twist. Renowned fitness innovator, motivational speaker, and
cancer survivor Fitz Koehler is launching the 21-Round Challenge—a bold mission to replace
each of her 21 grueling chemotherapy sessions with thrilling, life-affirming adventures. Her
goal? To prove that life after cancer is not just about surviving but thriving.
Fitz’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Having already conquered five unforgettable
adventures—like running the legendary Boston Marathon, swimming with whale sharks, and
competing in a Dancing with the Stars event—she is determined to push her physical and
mental limits. With 16 more adventures on the horizon, Fitz's plans include performing live with
a band after learning to play the guitar, making a cameo on The Walking Dead, and visiting
zoos in all 50 states. And she’s eager for more ideas, calling on fans and supporters to suggest
her next big challenge.
“I endured 21 rounds of chemotherapy, and each one felt like it was taking something from me,”
Koehler reflects. “Now, for every round that stole my strength, I’m claiming it back with an
adventure that brings joy, freedom, and power. These experiences aren’t just about fun—they’re
about reclaiming my life, healing, and proving that life after cancer can be even more vibrant.”But this challenge isn’t just about Fitz’s personal victory—it’s an invitation to the entire cancer community.
She’s asking survivors, fighters, and their loved ones to make their comebacks bigger than their setbacks by embarking on their own adventures, turning pain into triumph, and showing that life after cancer can be reinvigorated.
What adventure will you take on?
Fitz’s 21-Round Challenge is quickly gaining momentum, with her story inspiring others to push
beyond their own limits and rewrite their narratives of survivorship. With 16 adventures still
ahead, Fitz is excited to partner with media outlets to share her journey and encourage others to
get involved. Whether through a national television appearance or a local feature, Fitz’s mission
is resonating far and wide.
As the author of the Cancer Comeback Series and a beacon of hope for cancer patients around
the world, Fitz Koehler is determined to inspire others to embrace life’s endless possibilities,
even after the hardest battles. This isn’t just a personal quest—it’s a movement of resilience,
hope, and adventure. And it’s a story that the world is eager to follow.
