CrossFit Ballito recently hosted a Girls Gone Rx competition in which participants sweated it out in support of breast cancer survivors.

The women-only CrossFit event attracted a full roster of 90 participants, with 30 teams competing in two divisions – the Rx division for advanced athletes and the Bam division for everyday athletes.

Event organisers, coach Candi Leith and Dagmar Muhlbauer, expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support. All funds raised were donated to ILoveBoobies SA, a charity dedicated to breast cancer screening.

Thanks to these efforts, 14 women from rural areas will receive early breast cancer detection tests.

The athletes competed for R12 000 in cash prizes, awarded to the top teams in both divisions.

Additional recognition was given in categories such as Best Dressed, the Community Spirit Award and even the Wooden Spoon prize for the last-place finishers, adding a fun and inclusive touch to the event.
