Memorial Fundraiser Workout-Lumberjack CrossFit and Fort Hood

Early morning CrossFitters take note:  because you all wanted to be in the same class, it is not going to make sense to make a schedule change right now.  I am anticipating December being a little bit sporadic what with the holidays and all (prove me wrong!) so I am going to hold off changing anything until Jan 1st.  Just come to your regular 6:00am classes through the month of December.

The following is an excerpt from CrossFit Headquarters.

Lumberjack 20 Memorial Hero WOD

On Nov. 5 at 1:34 p.m., a terrorist named Major Nidal Hasan

attacked fellow soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas. When

the shooting ended, he had killed 12 soldiers and one civilian

and wounded 43 others. Four of the slain soldiers and 11 of the

wounded were active CrossFitters in the 20th Engineer Battalion,

home to Lumberjack CrossFit.  To honor these soldiers, CrossFit

HQ is creating a Hero WOD, and on Dec. 5, one month after

the murderous rampage, fellow Fort Hood affiliate Centurion

CrossFit Fort Hood will host the Fort Hood Massacre Memorial

WOD in an effort to raise money for those affected by this tragedy.

The Lumberjacks will deploy to Afghanistan in January in defense

of this great nation and the freedoms we all enjoy. We would like

for their parting memory to be one of hope and inspiration and

not of the horrific carnage that has so tragically befallen them.

Please join us on Dec. 5 by participating in the FHM Memorial

WOD at your local affiliates and by raising money to help the

victims of the shooting.

Here, at CrossFit Works, Inc. we will participate in this Memorial WOD on Saturday Dec 5 at 12:30pm.  Open Gym will be cancelled.  We will run the workout in such a way as to get as many people through as possible which will mean staggered starts by just a few minutes.  At 2:00 our Free Saturday workout will perform a scaled partner version of the workout.  If you want to do the entire thing yourself please come at 12:30 not at 2:00.  The 2:00 time will be only for those doing scaled partner versions of the Workout.  We will collect donations for the families of the Lumberjack CrossFitters killed at Fort Hood.  You can bring 50cents, $5.00 or $500.  In addition, $5.00 from the sale of each t-shirt during the month of December will also go to the Fund.  You must RSVP to the comment section of this post if you are going to do the workout so that we can be ready for you.  I am hoping you all will be here on Dec 5th to join CrossFitters around the world in doing this Workout.
