Kid Letters

Do you remember getting mail when you were younger? It was always exciting. Then we grew up and bills took the joy out of mail.

I wrote letters to my nieces and included a few things like certificates for free ice cream when we go on vacation this summer. They were very excited and wrote back right away.

I may have created monsters. When I told my sister to let the girls know I received their awesome letters, Kennedy asked if I was going to send another letter back. Some day kid. Maybe I should get her an email account instead.

CrossFit for Hope

CrossFit is combating childhood cancer and other deadly diseases through its inaugural CrossFit for Hope fundraiser, benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

It’s no secret that I’m addicted to CrossFit. If you know me at all, you’ve heard me talk about it or you’ve read some of my stuff on Facebook, Twitter, or my blog. When I saw that CrossFit was putting on a fundraiser, I knew I wanted to help out and could have fun doing it.

On June 9th, I’ll be doing the “Hope” workout, which is 3 rounds of:

  • 1m Burpees
  • 1m 75# Power snatch
  • 1m Box jump, 24″ box
  • 1m 75# Thruster
  • 1m Chest to bar Pull-ups
  • 1m Rest

One point is given for each rep. My goal is to get 150 total reps in this WOD.

If you’d like to help support this great cause, visit my profile on the CrossFit for Hope site to make a flat donation or a performance-based sponsorship based on the number of reps I actually complete in the workout. 100% of the proceeds will go directly to St. Jude. I’ve pledged $0.20 per rep to kick things off.

Thanks!
