Unstoppable Cancer Patient On Chemotherapy Crushes Squat Challenge

#SquatGoals.

This woman's strength shines even when she's powering through chemotherapy treatment.

Elizabeth Bobbe, a fitness instructor in Winchester, California, was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia a few weeks ago, according to a GoFundMe campaign created by her family members. Despite her illness, the 29-year-old has managed to maintain an amazing attitude and was recently caught on camera leading a squat challenge for some of the hospital staff at the Loma Linda University Medical Center, where she is undergoing chemotherapy.

Bobbe's father, David, told The Huffington Post that his daughter is passionate about fitness, and often does exercises in her hospital room, using furniture and other items around her. At one point, Bobbe joked to some of the staff that she'd train them and do a squat challenge with them. Little did she know that the staff members were pretty serious about the offer and actually took her up on it.

David told HuffPost that it's not clear yet as to how long Bobbe will need to be treated, but he has no doubt that she'll continue to remain positive throughout the whole journey.

"I know Liz, and she's a strong person," David said. "She's got endurance more than anybody I know. She's so dilligent and focused. If anybody is going to maintain that kind of disposition, she will. All the way. "
