Kartwheels for Kris Raises $1,200

Help raise the roof for a mom with cancer and her family on May 18. Volunteers still need to help with the work Saturday.

During April vacation week, Energy Fitness and Gymnastics of Natick donated the use of their facility and staff for a fundraiser to benefit the “Raise the Roof!” project for the Burke family of Framingham. 

Kris Burke has been fighting cancer for many years, and efforts are underway to do some repair and maintenance work on their home. 

Organizers have a work day scheduled for Saturday, May 18, so if you have some time to help that day, please visit www.KeepingKrisStrong.org to sign up.
