Saturday’s WOD is a really important event as the money goes to help those injured in the Ft Hood shooting. So please donate what you can to help raise money for these soldiers, 4 of the soldiers killed and 11 wounded were CrossFitters.
In addition to raising money, I would like to try to adopt Vanessa’s brother Michael Cheyne Cowden. Michael is a Ranger in the Army and is being deployed to Afghanistan again.

I think he looks just like you Vanessa!
I’m glad we’re doing this; I was just going to email Vanessa in response to her Facebook status to ask for his address. I’ll be sure and bring some goodies in to add to the pile.
