Eaton's family owns a gym in the town where 5-year-old Fritz lives.
The Kriegers started a nonprofit called Fritz and Friends a year after Fritz's diagnosis to fund research for his disease, and the Eatons and their gym have sponsored two events, giving 100% percent of the day's revenue to the cause."Jagger was always in the gym skating and would say hi to my boys," she said."We knew he was good. To watch him train and his focus, to see the commitment. He would give a high five, he was so kind and welcoming to any boy.
Olympian Jagger Eaton and Fritz Krieger ride together at Eaton's family's gym in Mesa, Arizona, in 2019.with the now-bronze medalist in late 2019. They even took on a halfpipe together, hand in hand. "Skateboarding is not something he can do on his own," Krieger said. But from the look on his face, he's flying."It was cool to watch him on a scale like that," she said, adding that Eaton embodies the mission of Fritz and Friends: Strength is more than muscle."You can be strong in so many other ways," Krieger stressed."Jagger is making kids feel strong in a way that’s way greater than physical strength.
"We look at Olympians, and we can praise them for their accomplishments, but more of their strength in their dedication, their kindness and the way they carry themselves. There are all these ways they are strong that we don’t see. That is true strength."
