The CrossFit community is organising a global burpees fundraising event in support of the people in Ukraine. Funds raised will be donated to Doctors Without Borders / Medecins Sans Frontieres, who are mobilising teams to help with the medical needs of people in Ukraine as well for those that have managed to flee to safety in neighbouring border countries.

Organizer Nicholas Worley, member of CrossFit Asphodel in Hong Kong said “We wanted to organize an event so anyone globally can participate and come together to both raise funds for the people of Ukraine and also show them that they have our support!”

We invite you to join us to stand with Ukraine!
