On October 20, 2024, we had the honor of taking part for the first time in the F*ck Cancer Contest, a charity competition organized by the Fair Fight CrossFit box, in Le Havre. This 4th edition was a memorable event, marked by solidarity, generosity and exceptional energy.
With 72 mixed teams divided into different categories, the aim of this competition was to unite the CrossFit community around a noble cause: to support Nathan, a box member suffering from cancer, and help him realize his dream of seeing a basketball game in the USA.
A Symbolic T-Shirt and a Momentum of Solidarity
For this competition, we created a special edition T-shirt featuring a butterfly, a symbol of strength and hope. This choice of design reflected the spirit of the competition, and our desire to support those affected by this disease in one way or another.
What's special about this edition? We printed the T-shirts directly on site to meet demand in real time. The response was immediate: in just two hours, all the pieces were sold out. In view of this enthusiasm, we decided to put the model on sale on our website when we returned from the event, enabling even more people to take part in this solidarity action.
In all, 450 T-shirts were sold. Thanks to this outpouring of generosity, we are proud to announce that we will be able to donate €6,000 to Nathan and his family to finance his trip. This gesture, as symbolic as it is important, was particularly close to our hearts. We know what a difference this support can make, and it makes us extremely proud to contribute to this worthy cause.
A meaningful competition
The 2024 edition of the F*ck Cancer Contest was not just a sporting competition. It was a true moment of sharing, goodwill and unity. The warm welcome from Virginie and Mathieu, the managers of Fair Fight CrossFit, and the incredible spirit of their community, made this experience unique.
Taking part in such an event, surrounded by such generous people, touched us deeply. This competition showed, once again, that CrossFit isn't just about sport: it's a community of caring hearts, ready to rally together for causes that matter.
Rendez-Vous in 2025
This first participation in the F*ck Cancer Contest will not be our last. We're already looking forward to coming back next year to continue supporting such meaningful initiatives.
A big thank you to Virginie, Mathieu, and the whole Fair Fight CrossFit team for their incomparable welcome and impeccable organization. And of course, thanks to all those who bought our T-shirts, supporting Nathan in realizing his dream. Together, we're proving that, in the face of disease, we can show resilience, generosity and hope.
