Help Jeremie cross the finish line!
Donation protected
Hi friends, family and CrossFit community!
As many of you know Jeremie Jourdan has qualified for the CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin, this August 2023.
This was no small feat as he had to make it to the top 10 out of 1,600 boys his age, WORLDWIDE! Jeremie not only qualified, but is currently holding the number 2 spot in the world.
Jeremie fell into CrossFit after a decorated, competitive gymnastics journey ended during the Covid pandemic in 2020. It was a difficult time for Jeremie as he had been in gymnastics since the age of 3 and it was a mental and physical blow to his psyche.
That same year, Jeremie started CrossFit at a local gym, CrossFit Turlock, under the coaching of Isaiah Figueroa, as an outlet to maintain an active lifestyle.
What started as a means to stay in shape and preserve his mental health, turned into something very unexpected and became a passion for Jeremie.
During his first CrossFit Open in 2021, he could barely manage the skills or movements, but it quickly turned into a challenge for Jeremie and in 2022 he made it to the quarterfinals, missing the semifinals by only 15 spots worldwide. This did not deter Jeremie , but rather illuminated a bigger fire to make the CrossFit Games in 2023.
His love of competing still at heart, he qualified and took 1st place in his age group, at the 2022 Northern California Classic.
He has since competed in several adult competitions doing very well, holding his own against grown men.
One of the reasons, and most important aspects of the sport, and perhaps why Jeremie fell in love with CrossFit so quickly, is the community that surrounds it.
Throughout his CrossFit journey, and what has kept him most motivated when training was exceptionally difficult, was the CrossFit community. Strangers at competitions, reach outs on social media, texts and phone calls. The emotional support has been overwhelming and greatly appreciated!
As Jeremie’s journey to Madison continues, expenses are adding up quickly. Though the Games will supply him with all the necessary clothing, there are several other expenses including but not limited to, travel, gas (for trailer/truck), flights (for him and coach), room and board, special meal prepping, entry, physical therapy while there, just to name a few of the things the support will go to.
Through his gym CrossFit Turlock, there will be a few fundraising opportunities. Competitive games for prizes, taco sales and t-shirt sales.
We are creating this GoFundMe page for those of you who might not be able to attend these events and still want to support Jeremie on this amazing accomplishment and help him cross the finish line! Thank you!
