Join CrossFit Free and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for the CrossFit for Hope event at 5-7 Delaware Drive Unit 3 in Salem, NH on Saturday, June 9 from 10 AM until 4 PM. Participants of the event will move from station to station completing a workout called “Hope,” which includes burpees, box jumps, power snatches, chest to bar pullups and more. For each rep that is completed, participants will earn a point towards their overall score. All proceeds from the CrossFit for Hope event will go towards St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s goal to battle childhood and terminal illnesses.
The St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by Danny Thomas in 1962 upon the belief that no child should die before they’ve had the chance to truly live. St. Jude is known for being the only pediatric cancer research center that does not make its patients pay what their insurance won’t cover and allows children to get the help and treatment they deserve regardless of financial status. The hospital also boasts the nation’s only on-site pediatric research center designed for producing specialized vaccines and treatments. The hospital’s research success continues to grow; the survival rate of children with cancer has increased from 20% to nearly 80% since St. Jude has been open.
