This coming Saturday we are sending 3 teams of 4 people to CrossFit Orillia to support Jeremy, a fellow CrossFitter and trainer  who was recently seriously injured in a snowmobile accident. There’s still spaces available for those who’d like to participate. I will be collecting donations at the gym this week to help support Jeremy and his kids. I’m going to kick it off by donating $1oo. Here’s what James, owner of CrossFit Orillia has to say….
Hi Everyone,Recently, one of our trainers (Jeremy) was involved in a very serious
snowmobile accident, leaving him with a shattered pelvis, broken
sacrum, and damage to both knees.  He has a long recovery ahead of
him, and is not expected to bear any weight on his legs for at least
another 3-4 months.  Jeremy is a self-employed contractor and single
Dad.

We’ll be open on Good Friday for 1 class at 10am. Open gym will be closed on Sunday.

 
Since Jeremy is unable to work, or work out, we’ve decided to help him
out.  On April 3rd we will be holding a Benefit Challenge to raise
funds for our freind.  There will be three WOD’s spaced out between
9:00am and 4:00pm and all events will be done in teams of 4 (at least
one female per team).  The entry fee for each team is $60 with all
proceeds going to a fund set up in Jeremy’s name.  Local business have
generously donated prizes and they will be awarded to the top teams in
Rx’d, Scale 1 and Scale 2 divisions.
As the workouts are scaled, everyone is welcome to come and compete.
Spectators are more than welcome and are asked to make a small
donation as well.  Of course, no proper CF event is complete without
an awesome after party.  There are two hotels within walking distance
of our box, so plan to stay over and enjoy the bright lights of
downtown Orillia;-)
