Coast Range CrossFit, 8540 Church St., Â will host a memorial workout for Jennifer Lynn Kranz, or “JLK” as she was known to her family and friends at 9 a.m. Saturday.
Kranz, 6, passed away Wednesday after being diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma — a rare type of cancer that caused an inoperable tumor to grow in her brain stem — on her sixth birthday Oct. 28. She entered hospice care Jan. 31.Â
No prior experience is necessary and you don’t need to be a member of the gym to join in. Coast Range will have a basket to take donation for Kranz’s family. The idea is to collect things to help her parents with everyday things that are needed, but difficult to do in their time of mourning. (Suggested items like gift cards to restaurants, coffee, landscape help, ect.)
“The goal is to bring the City of Gilroy together to show our support for the family,” owner Wes Piatt said.
