Wy & Z Jaakkola
We are a Relentless Detroit Family. 2016 will be the first Relentless event Wyatt
will lift in, but not the first he will attend.
Our journey with Relentless began in 2013. Wyatt was 1 year into his fight against Pre-B
Cell ALL Leukemia. Relentless Detroit selected Wyatt to be one of the 5 “Relentless
Kids”. WE had no idea the impact the Men
and Women of Relentless would have on our family.
Zachary was so moved by the experience that he asked
Relentless Detroit organizers if he could lift in the next relentless
event. Not only did they say YES! But
they helped Z train, coached him at the event and have become amazing friends,
mentors and Big Brothers.
Relentless Detroit marks Z’s 4th Relentless
event, he has raised over $1500 for Relentless families.
Together Wyatt & Zachary have set a goal to raise $1000
for Relentless Detroit 2016. They are training at home at at Detroit Barbell – will you help them bless the 2016 Relentless
Detroit families?

Relentless Detroit's mission is to build relationships, change lives and to serve God by uniting strong men and women with even stronger children.
The Relentless Detroit Foundation, in collaboration with Detroit Barbell and Kirby Church, was created to raise money, awareness and support for families with children diagnosed with life threatening illnesses.
Our goal is to not only raise money for these families, but also help strengthen and add to their existing support system.
Additional support for Relentless Detroit comes from Detroit Barbell, Kirby Church, Nubreed Nutrition, Randal Whately, Walmart and other local businesses. Operating costs include, but are not limited to, design and printing of promotional materials including flyers, tickets, t-shirts, etc.
These items are used to promote the event and also sold to raise awareness and additional funds for the families. All man power to plan, coordinate, and operate this event is volunteered. The event venue and equipment used are donated by Detroit Barbell and Kirby Church.
Thank you for helping us make a difference!
Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. - Galatians 6:2
