Story

Meet a team of 4 taking on Battle Cancer, part of the 17 teams from Aphobos Crossfit all doing the same. No showboating here, just pure grit to raise money for a great cause. We're diving into a fitness event that's not about showing off – it's about making lunges that matter, and turning pushups into progress.

We've all had our run-ins with that uninvited guest in life's party – cancer. It doesn't care who you are; it touches us all in one way or another. We're doing this so others don't need to fight as hard, or have to fight at all (statistically 1 in 2 of us are affected at some point in their life).

The Workouts

10 minutes getting drenched in our own sweat doing HIIT/Crossfit. 20 minutes to question our life choice and get some breath back.

5. Times. Over. Every time a different workout...but the same pain. All for a great cause.

Donate for change

Cancer Research UK's got the spotlight as they tackle cancer head-on. Our approach? Hitting those reps and sweating it out, likely unable to walk right the rest of the week.

Whether you're a crossfit games athlete or occasional stretcher, your donation to Cancer Research UK is like giving cancer the middle finger. Check out their work here: https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/our-research.

Your move?

Donate and make your mark. No need to don workout gear to donate – but deep pockets and longer arms would be nice (unfortunately JustGiving doesn't allow us to collect cash however).

It's more than just sweat – it's our chance to show cancer we're not going anywhere,, one 10-minute sweat fest at a time.
