Raymond Anderson, a beloved member of the Murrieta, CA community, was born on July 31, 1954. Known for his incredible achievements as a powerlifter and personal trainer, Ray has dedicated his life to health, fitness, and inspiring others. He is a loving husband, devoted father and a proud “Papa” to six wonderful grandchildren.
On December 15th, Ray’s life changed drastically. What began as a visit to the ER for pain caused by a broken rib—a blessing in disguise—led to the heartbreaking diagnosis of cancer and spinal lesions. With more testing to come and a long road ahead, Ray and his family are turning to their community for help.
Ray and his wife Linda have been self-employed their entire lives. As Ray steps away from work to focus on his health, the financial strain of medical bills and daily expenses grows heavier. This is where we can step in to support a man who has spent his life uplifting others.
Throughout his nearly six-decade career, Ray has overcome every challenge life has thrown at him, from a frail childhood in Chicago to becoming a multi-sport competitor in powerlifting, bodybuilding, and Hall of Fame for AAU. Now, it’s time for us to rally behind Ray as he faces this most difficult fight.
Your donations will provide critical financial relief for medical expenses, daily needs, and peace of mind during this difficult journey. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.
Ray has always been a source of strength and inspiration for his family and community. Let’s show him that he’s not alone in this fight.
Thank you for your generosity, love, and support. For additional information, please feel free to contact Linda or Hannah Anderson.
