Fight Gone Bad 5

Ok, it's that time of year again!

Fight gone Bad 5 is rapidly approaching. This cause is near and dear to my heart. All of our athletes are either military or their spouses and children. Every day, athletes from our box deploy overseas to defend our freedom. They do not always return and when they do, they do not always return unscathed. Any one of our athletes could be affected by these sacrifices and nothing is more important to me than ensuring we are taking care of those who have given selfishly for our safety.

Fight Gone Bad raises a great deal of money for the Wounded Warrior Project, Livestrong and a new charity this year the CrossFit Foundation, which provides support and assistance to the men and women of the military, law enforcement and first responder communities and their families, as well as to enhance the quality of life and fitness of deserving families by sponsoring such worthwhile efforts as Infant Swim Rescue (ISR), providing exercise equipment, and other beneficial acts.

I am a huge supporter of the Wounded Warrior Project and anything that gives back to Soldiers for their sacrifices.

Last year, Centurion CrossFit Fort Hood raised over $10,000.00. We raised more money than any other military affiliate. I certainly think we can top that this year, with all the fantastic athletes and trainers we now have.

Please register, send out emails, bug your friends and family. This only happens once a year, so do not relent!

Go talk to our sister affiliate on post, CrossFit WTU (http://crossfitwtuforthood.com/) and ask some of their wounded warriors how they were helped and what that help meant to them.

For the next 6 weeks I ask that you register, and truly work to raise as much as you can for these great causes. Show our wounded warriors they are not forgotten and that the CrossFit community and especially the military CrossFit community appreciates their sacrifices.
