This is more than a race. This is a mission.
Michelle and her training partner, Bre, are taking on a HYROX race as part of Hybrid for Hope—turning strength, endurance, and discipline into support for families impacted by Krabbe disease.
This cause is deeply personal. Michelle has seen firsthand the strength it takes for families to face a journey no one should have to endure.
They don’t choose this fight. So Michelle and Bre are choosing to show up—for them.
Every mile. Every rep. Every moment of this race is dedicated to raising awareness, supporting families, and moving closer to a cure.
Your support helps:
- Fund critical research
- Support families impacted by Krabbe disease
- Raise awareness for a rare and devastating condition
Every rep has a reason.
Every mile carries meaning.
What is HYROX?
HYROX is a global indoor fitness race combining 8km of running with 8 functional workout stations (like sled pushes, rowing, lunges, wall balls), repeated in sequence. It’s designed to test endurance, strength, and overall fitness while being accessible to everyday athletes—not just elites.
