How Fitness Fueled Hope for St. Jude

A group of our athletes recently participated in a fundraising event called CrossFit for Hope, supporting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This event wasn’t just about the workout, it was a powerful display of the community spirit that defines our sport. Gyms from across the area came together, united by a common mission: to raise funds for an organization that provides world-class treatment to children battling cancer and other life-threatening diseases.

One of the most moving parts of the day was hearing from Dylan, a St. Jude patient who bravely shared his story. His testimony gave us a firsthand look into the life-changing care St. Jude provides not just medically, but emotionally and spiritually. Dylan stood before a room full of strangers and spoke with a mix of gratitude, courage, and unshakable optimism that left an impression on every single person in the room.

His words were a reminder. A reality check. A call to appreciate the gift of movement, the blessing of health, and the incredible privilege it is to use our bodies and our fitness for something far greater than ourselves.

These are the moments we hold higher. When fitness becomes more than just reps and sets. When it becomes a way to love, to give, and to be part of something bigger.
