Early Morning Thanksgiving Workout Benefits Natick Mom With Breast and Brain Cancer

By Susan Petroni (Patch staff)

MetroWest Boot Camp, located in the former Saxonville Mill in Framingham, will hold its Sixth Annual Thanksgiving Morning Boot Camp on Nov. 26 from 6 to 7 a.m.

Each year, the Framingham business selects a woman battling breast cancer to raise funds for.

This year’s recipient is Alexa Hu, a Natick mom, who is battling both breast and brain cancer. She has two daughters, ages 1 and 3.

“Its our mission to pay it forward after our MWBC family was rattled by breast cancer in 2012 and every penny we raise goes directly to Alexa and her family,” said one of the owners Kristen Houlker.

This year’s workout fundraiser will be held at the Hampton Inn at 319 Speen Street in Natick, at the hotel’s ballroom from 6-7 a.m.

Cost is $20 per person and $50 maximum per family. Babysitting will be available, so no excuses.
