Dante pushed every one he knew to show up for themselves by staying active, no matter what fitness level they are at. He also knew what it was like to start and restart a fitness journey, coming back from not being able to walk after his 2018 coma to become the absolute beast in the gym we all knew him to be. As a personal trainer, he encouraged with positivity and enthusiasm, believing that we are all and everybody starts from somewhere.

A few months ago, Dante's sister decided to start training from...let's just say a very un-Dante level of fitness... with the goal to run a 5k at the in honor of Dante. This past weekend, she kept that promise to him.

This is your friendly reminder from the Longo Strong Foundation that fitness is for all, no matter your size, shape, or starting point. This is also a teaser that we will have some very exciting updates regarding our initiative coming soon!

We are calling on friends, family, and supporters from across the country to help us celebrate Dante’s rebirthday week by rolling up your sleeves (literally) and saving some lives.
Each year since Dante’s 2018 accident we have celebrated the days from April 7 to April 13th as Dante’s ‘Rebirthday Week’, marking the days he fought through a coma to come back to us. Since his passing, celebrating Dante’s rebirthday has become a whole lot more bittersweet, but we will forever be grateful for the gift of nearly four more years with him we got thanks to the blood he received from blood donors like you. With your help, the Longo Strong Foundation is committed to paying this gift forward through the launch of our annual Dante Longo Rebirthday Blood Drive from April 7th to 13th, 2023. When you donate blood in Dante’s name, you’re not only honoring his journey, but you’re also helping to ensure that others can have the same chance at life that he did.
We have expanded the options for donating so that it is even easier to fit ‘saving a life’ into your busy schedule no matter where in the country you are. Our in-person drive will be held April 10 at Cal State San Marcos and our virtual drive will run from April 7-13 across the country.
Drive details and sign-ups through link in bio. Thank you for helping us save lives!
