Fighting Cancer One Workout at a Time By: Shane Venezia What is 24 in 24?
24 in 24 is CrossFit No Surrender’s annual fundraiser against cancer, we will do and host 24 CrossFit workouts in 24 hours. Every hour on the hour we will start a new workout, each workout is pretty easy and is scalable for all fitness levels. We are asking the community to come out and join us, each workout is $25 to do.
How did it start?
The fundraiser is in honor of my sister, Renee Hamilton who had breast cancer in 2011, we did a “Fight Gone Bad” to help offset her chemo cost. I promised her I would do a fundraiser to battle cancer every year, so in 2012 “24 in 24” began.
What types of workouts are planned for the event and can any experience level participate?
The workouts are easy and ANY fitness level can do them. We will scale any and all movements to fit the athlete’s needs or fitness level.
What are the dates of the event and where is it located? This year 24 in 24 will be held from June 10th @ 10am until June 11th @ 9am at CrossFit No Surrender located at 625 Plaza Drive in Covington.
How many years have you been hosting 24 in 24? This year, we will celebrate our 6th year of 24 in 24 as well as raising over a quarter of a million dollars in the fight against cancer!
