GBC fam, let’s make #HandstandsForHalle go VIRAL and rally for our community member! Halle of Momentum Gymnastics has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer (1 in 20 million) called Chordoma. To lift her spirits, please post a picture or video of you (safely) doing a handstand, tag @gymnasticsbc and #HandstandsForHalle, and nominate 3 friends. ... We nominate @samsmithski123 @z_clay @shallon_olsen @haleyamelia__ Halle requires 3 surgeries within one week at the University of Pittsburgh, and she needs lots of support. We’ve linked to the GoFundMe page here (https://www.gofundme.com/f/9fj5jz-help-for-halle), and for those of you who have the means to donate, we ask that you consider doing so. This year has been difficult on all of us, so let’s try to shine a little light where we can. #HandstandsForHalle
