Muscles for Manny

Emmanuel "Manny" Francois is a devoted husband to Jessica and father of three wonderful children. He has spent over 15 years as a dedicated public servant, most recently serving as a NH State Trooper before transitioning to the private sector. Manny is a leader both on and off the field, where he coaches at the Londonderry Soccer Club, passing on values like teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship. His strength, determination, and love for his family are at the heart of his life, and they’re helping him face his current battle with an extremely rare and aggressive form of lymphoma.

Muscles for Manny: A Powerlifting Meet Dedicated to a Fighter

On October 26th, the Breathe CrossFit community is coming together for "Muscles for Manny," a powerlifting meet dedicated to honoring Manny's incredible spirit. Manny has long been part of the Breathe CrossFit family, and we want to show him the same strength and support he’s given to so many. All proceeds from the event will go toward helping Manny and his family during this challenging time, providing much-needed financial relief so they can focus on what matters most—his recovery. This event is about lifting not just weights, but lifting Manny and his family through our collective strength and generosity.
