Mikey’s Mission Raises More than $4K for JDRF

Just after last weekend’s held at Shoreline Crossfit, we posted the unofficial total funds raised as $3,500. Well Branford High School Senior Matt White is proud to announce that the official total is even more.

Participants and donors were able to raise $4,358 last Saturday for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation through the CrossFit challenge.

The fundraiser came about as Matt’s Senior Capstone Project and as a way to support his younger brother, Mikey White, who has been battling Type 1 JD since age 4.

Mikey who is now sixth-grader at was also the catalyst for a JDRF fundraiser for his team, 6-3, more than $550 last Friday.

Fundraising aside, one of the best pieces of news from the event was the victory of the White brothers took home a CrossFit prize in the Men’s Novice Division.

Congrats to all who pitched in to help out and congrats to Matt for organizing the fundraiser.
