A Valley gym held a fundraiser for the four Peoria firefighters injured in an explosion at an APS facility in April.
CrossFit Unwavering opened its doors to the community on Saturday. For $20, participants did a firefighter-inspired workout. All the proceeds went toward the firefighters and their families.
"Us as a community, we wanted to get together somehow and see what we could do to help them the best that we could," said Leigha Graziano, a Glendale firefighter.
Graziano says the men injured were her friends. She described the moment she heard about the explosion.
"My stomach dropped a little bit knowing, I know those guys," Graziano said. "One of them I sat through medic school next to him for eight months."
