The fitness community is mourning the loss of a motivational leader.
Nicole Brenda Santos Marins, a Brazilian fitness content creator, has died, her husband Alisson Cravo confirmed on Instagram on August 19. She was 28.
Marins—mother to a 6-year-old son—was riding a motorcycle down a Brazilian highway on August 18 when she began experiencing mechanical difficulties and pulled off onto the shoulder, according to the Brazilian Federal Highway Police as reported by NationalWorld. She was then struck by a “large” oncoming vehicle that fled the scene, authorities stated.
An investigation into the collision is ongoing.
Following his wife’s passing, Cravo shared a series of emotional posts on his Instagram Story, describing Marins as an “amazing woman, warrior, worker, and a wonderful mother who would do everything to see the smile of her prince.”
“You were my safe haven,” Cravo wrote in an Instagram Story on August 19. “You gave me a ground that I never had. A light. Doing good to you kept me alive. You made me feel like a real man. You made me recognize that I can be someone, that I can be good, and I will strive to improve every day for you.”
