5th Annual Fitness Crawl to Fight Breast Cancer

I started the Fitness Crawl in 2020 an opportunity to help build a community around survivors support through the fitness studios, as well as an opportunity to try to stay healthy (both physically & emotionally) via exercise as higher levels of physical activity are linked to lower risk of cancer and other diseases while also being linked to healing. This will allow a chance for people to try out different exercises and find one that fits their needs, if they have not already done so.

Through this month long crawl to over 50 fitness & wellness studios, we help raise awareness and funds in the fight against breast cancer through the American Cancer Society via their intensive cancer research, patient support as well as education and awareness (over a quarter million women are diagnosed with breast cancer and over 40 thousand die from it in the U.S., while 1 in 8 women are expected to develop breast cancer in their lifetime!) Thanks to more awareness and donations towards cancer research, the death rate has gone down 42% over the last 2 decades!

Please remind loved ones to do monthly self exams and get mammograms. By the age of 40 need to get mammograms and 45-54 don’t miss a year. If you have family history get checked out early.

Workouts will be of varying styles, including yoga, cycling, Pilates, boxing, barre, HIIT, strength conditioning, cardio, ballet....  Follow us on  @fitcrawl2fightbreastcancer @menwearpinknashville & @nashvillefit for more information.  Nashville Fit Magazine is a major partner.

Why I Wear Pink

As a man who has been engaged with causes that impact women, e.g.., the YWCA's AMEND Together which engages men to help end domestic violence, along with work in the DV world in general through non-profits, it is an honor to once again be involved with other good guys who want to make a difference for women.

Breast Cancer, just like domestic violence, does not differentiate the victims based on zipcode, ethnicity, socio-economic status, faith, education level, it impacts anyone at any time. I want to do my part to help change the rate at which we are finding victims impacted by breast cancer through awareness and more money poured into research.  By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, I'm helping to save more lives from breast cancer.

Why I Support the American Cancer Society

I lost my beloved brother-in-law to lung cancer and in 2016 my beloved older cousin and mentor was diagnosed with breast cancer. As she has been able to overcome this battle for now, we have seen the impact of having to undergo chemo, radiation and surgery and how life has changed. We all want to see her forever cured and back to full strength.

Every day, the American Cancer Society is saving more lives from breast cancer than ever before. They're helping people take steps to reduce their risk of breast cancer or find it early, when it's easier to treat. They provide free information and services when and where people need it. They fund groundbreaking breast cancer research and they're working to ensure access to mammograms for women who need them.
