The Donor Games Lakes Regional took place on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at the Adventure Awaits CrossFit in Weston, WI. The competition was filled with excitement, encouragement, and celebration of life and fitness.
The event featured three workouts (RX and scaled versions), with cash prizes awarded to the top three men and women overall. A total of 22 athletes competed: 18 RX (10 men and eight women) and four scaled (one man and three women), including two living donors.
In the men’s category, the winners were:
- 1st prize: Connor Martin
- 2nd prize: Colin Dewey
- 3rd prize: Jack Koenig
In the women’s category, the winners were:
- 1st prize: Mary Fisher
- 2nd prize: Alex Fredrickson
- 3rd prize: Laurie Winkelman
Three living donors and one recipient were in attendance, and each shared their personal story and how donation changed their lives. Their experiences highlighted the life-saving power of living donation. One donor spoke about giving a kidney to her sister-in-law, calling it the thing she is proudest of in her life. She said she would do it again if she could. Her sister-in-law now has a full life and more time with her family—a second chance made possible by one selfless act.
