Crystal Lundberg Raises Awareness for Foster Care Support

Published

Illinois, USA, Jun 24, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Crystal Lundberg is using her personal story to raise awareness about the need for compassion, stability, and encouragement for young people who experience foster care, family disruption, and childhood adversity.

Lundberg, an Office Manager and Marketing Coordinator, grew up in Rockford, Illinois. Much of her childhood was shaped by instability, hardship, and time spent in and out of foster care due to her mother’s struggles with mental health and addiction.

“One of the biggest obstacles I faced was growing up in an unstable environment,” Lundberg said. “There were many periods in my life where I lacked consistency, structure, and emotional security.”

According to federal foster care data, 343,077 children were in foster care in the United States on September 30, 2023. More than 175,000 children entered foster care during that federal fiscal year. These numbers show why support systems, mentorship, and safe relationships remain important for young people facing uncertainty.

For Lundberg, one turning point came when she was about eight years old. A family took her in through a family connection. They were not official foster parents and were not paid to care for her. They simply opened their home.

“For the first time in my life, I experienced stability, warmth, and unconditional love,” Lundberg said. “They showed me what love truly looked like.”

That experience gave her a model for healthy family life. It also helped shape her drive to build a stable future through education, personal growth, and work.

Today, Lundberg advocates for small but meaningful acts of support. She believes people do not always need a formal title to make a difference. A stable adult, a kind home, a teacher, a mentor, or a caring community member can help a young person see a future beyond hardship.

“My biggest motivation has always been the desire to create a life that is peaceful, successful, stable, and meaningful,” Lundberg said. “The family who took me in during childhood showed me what unconditional love, discipline, and stability looked like.”

Research also shows that young people leaving foster care face challenges tied to housing, education, employment, and adult support. The National Youth in Transition Database tracks outcomes such as homelessness, education, employment, adult connections, and access to health insurance for young people with foster care experience.

Lundberg’s own path shows the value of encouragement and structure. She graduated in July 2025 with an Associate’s Degree in Business Management Administration. She also completed esthetics training through Aveda and is continuing her education in Business Management, Marketing, and Digital Marketing.

“Education became more than a goal for me,” Lundberg said. “It became a way to transform my future.”

Her message is simple: childhood adversity should not define a person’s future. But young people need support, consistency, and belief from others.

“In moments of self-doubt, I remind myself how far I have already come and everything I have overcome,” Lundberg said. “Growth often happens during uncomfortable seasons, and perseverance is what creates transformation.”

Lundberg encourages individuals to take action in their own communities. That can include learning more about foster care, supporting local youth programs, offering mentorship, encouraging education, volunteering with community organizations, or simply becoming a steady and positive presence in a young person’s life.

“Success means overcoming obstacles that once seemed impossible,” Lundberg said. “It also means being able to inspire and uplift others along the way.”

Through her story, Lundberg hopes more people will understand that stability can change a child’s life. Sometimes, support begins with one person choosing to care.

Ruckaroo Launches World’s First Fitness App Built for Weighted Walking

Published

By

Designed specifically for “rucking,” which is walking with weights or hiking with a weighted pack, the app uses an accepted military formula to track calorie burn

United States, 11th Jul 2026 — Cincy Labs LLC today announced the launch of Ruckaroo, the world’s first fitness app designed specifically for weighted walking. The app is built for “rucking,” which refers to walking with weights or hiking with a weighted pack or weighted vest. The process is beneficial because rucking burns twice the calories of a regular walk. Standard fitness apps do not measure the fitness impact of carrying weights during a workout.

As Rami M., Founder of Cincy Labs, put it, “Walk four miles with a 40-pound pack, and most apps still score it like a casual stroll. Ruckaroo calculates true calorie burn using the Pandolf equation. This is the same load-carriage formula the U.S. Army has used since 1977. It factors in body weight, pack weight, pace, terrain, and elevation. This provides calorie accuracy.”

Every ruck earns a Ruck Score (0–100) that reflects actual effort. A community feed enables users to share their ruck marches. “Our customers consistently tell us how much they enjoy being part of a bigger group, that they’re not rucking alone,” the spokesperson added. 

The app also features outdoor GPS, treadmill tracking, Apple Watch connectivity, and a live lock screen. With these capabilities, Ruckaroo is the only app that accurately measures weighted walking indoors and outside. Users can now seamlessly monitor their distance, calories, and heart rate regardless of their location. They can switch from indoor exercise to outdoor without losing the data from their workouts. The app’s AI coach also understands the user’s training history and achievement badges.

SK Hynix ETFs – 2x Long (SKHX) & 1x Short (SKHZ) from Leverage Shares by Themes Arrive as ADRs Begin Trading

Greenwich, Connecticut, July 10th, 2026, FinanceWire

One Trading Day After the Record Nasdaq Debut, Traders Get 2x Long and 1x Short Tools at a 0.75% Fee — With Options on Both Funds Expected Shortly After Launch

SK Hynix’s American Depositary Receipts began trading on Nasdaq today in the largest-ever US listing by a foreign company, an offering recently sized near $28 billion¹ — and US traders are one trading day away from a complete toolkit to act on it. Leverage Shares by Themes confirmed that the Leverage Shares 2x Long SK Hynix Daily ETF (ticker: SKHX) and the Leverage Shares 1x Short SK Hynix Daily ETF (ticker: SKHZ) begin trading on Cboe this coming Tuesday, July 14th.

The Only 1x Short in the Field

Among the leveraged SK Hynix ETFs arriving Monday, SKHZ is expected to be the only 1x, non-leveraged short product — a way to lean bearish or hedge existing exposure without the amplified decay of a -2x fund. SKHX seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to 200% (2x) of the daily performance of the SK Hynix American Depositary Receipt (Nasdaq: SKHY); SKHZ seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, corresponding to -100% (-1x) of that daily performance. Both funds are actively managed and utilize swaps, options, and other derivatives to deliver efficient exposure.

Options Days Away

Options on both SKHX and SKHZ are expected to begin trading within days of the funds’ launch, adding defined-risk strategies and hedging flexibility on top of the funds themselves.

Experience at This Scale

The firm ran the same play around SpaceX’s IPO, launching long and short ETFs — SPCH and SSPC — simultaneously, in a debut that set the record for the biggest first week of trading in ETF history, topping $4 billion in volume over four trading days.² Both SKHX and SKHZ carry a 0.75% management fee, approximately 40% below the category average.³

“Today the market got SK Hynix. On Monday, traders get the tools — long or short, with options right behind, at a fee that respects them,” said Jose C. Gonzalez Navarro, CEO and Co-Founder of Themes ETFs. “As with all of our daily leveraged and inverse products, these are trading vehicles that reset each day, not buy-and-hold instruments — we encourage investors to size positions carefully and know their exit points.”

Definitions:

American Depositary Receipt (ADR): An American Depositary Receipt (ADR) is a negotiable certificate issued by a U.S. depositary bank that represents shares of a foreign company. ADRs trade on U.S. exchanges in U.S. dollars, making it easier for U.S. investors to buy and sell shares of non-U.S. companies.

Options: Options are exchange-traded contracts linked to an underlying security, such as an ETF, that give the holder the right, but not the obligation, to buy (a call option) or sell (a put option) the underlying security at a specified price before or on a specified expiration date. Options can be used to manage risk or express investment views but involve significant risk and are not appropriate for all investors.

INVESTMENT INVOLVES SIGNIFICANT RISK. Fund does not invest directly in the underlying stock. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Fund.

An investor should carefully consider a Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about Themes ETFs. To obtain a Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus call 886-584-3637. A Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing.

Newly launched Funds have risks associated with a limited operating history.

Because of daily rebalancing and the compounding of each day’s return over time, the return of the Fund for periods longer than a single day will be the result of each day’s returns compounded over the period, which will very likely differ from 200% (for 2x) or -100% (for -1x) of the return of the underlying stock over the same period. The Fund will lose money if the underlying stock performance is flat over time, and as a result of daily rebalancing, the underlying stock’s volatility and the effects of compounding, it is even possible that the Fund will lose money over time while the underlying stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. The Fund is not suitable for all investors. The Fund is designed to be utilized only by knowledgeable investors who understand the potential consequences of seeking daily leveraged (2x, -1x) investment results, understand the risks associated with the use of leverage and are willing to monitor their portfolios frequently. The Fund is not intended to be used by, and is not appropriate for, investors who do not intend to actively monitor and manage their portfolios. For periods longer than a single day, the Fund will lose money if the underlying stock’s performance is flat, and it is possible that the Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock’s performance increases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment for all leveraged funds (2x, -1x). For the 2x fund, if the price of the underlying stock falls by more than 50% in one trading day, an investor could lose the full principal value of their investment.

Under the Investment Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust, on behalf of the Fund (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Adviser has agreed to pay all expenses of the Fund, except for the fee paid to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement, interest charges on any borrowings, taxes, brokerage commissions and other expenses incurred in placing orders for the purchase and sale of securities and other investment instruments, acquired fund fees and expenses, accrued deferred tax liability, extraordinary expenses, and distribution (12b-1) fees and expenses.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

INVESTMENT RISKS: Investing in the Funds involves a high degree of risk. As with any investment, there is a risk that you could lose all or a portion of your investment in the Funds.

Investment in leveraged products may be subject to higher volatility. Fund does not directly invest in the underlying stock. An investment in the Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with the Fund concentrating its investments in a particular industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. The use of derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps is subject to market risks that may cause their price to fluctuate over time. Risks of the Fund include effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Inverse Risk, Market Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, IntraDay Investment Risk, Daily Index Correlation Risk, Other Investment Companies (including ETFs) Risk, and risks specific to the securities of the Underlying Stock and the sector in which it operates. These and other risks can be found in the prospectus.

For periods longer than a single day, the Funds will lose money if SK Hynix has flat performance, and it is possible that the Funds will lose money even if SK Hynix performance increases or decreases over a period longer than a single day. An investor could lose the full principal value of his/her investment within a single day if the price of SK Hynix rises or falls by more than 50% in one trading day.

Shares of ETFs are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually redeemed from the Fund. Brokerage commissions will reduce returns. The market price returns are based on the official closing price of an ETF share or, if the official closing price isn’t available, the midpoint between the national best bid and national best offer (NBBO) as of the time the ETF calculates current NAV per share, and do not represent the returns you would receive if you traded shares at other times. NAVs are calculated using prices as of 4:00 PM Eastern Time. Indices are unmanaged and do not include the effect of fees, expenses, or sales charges. One cannot invest directly in an index.

This information is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy shares of any Funds to any person in any jurisdiction in which an offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
