\"\"<\/a>On Saturday, October 27, 2012, Thomasville CrossFit<\/a><\/span>\u00a0 is hosting our first fundraising event for Barbells for Boobs<\/a><\/span> which “is a 501(c)3 non-profit breast cancer organization whose mission is to provide funding through the Mammograms in Action Grant Program<\/a><\/span> for qualified low income and uninsured women and men who need screening and\/or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast cancer.”<\/p>\n

One of the reasons we chose this event in particular is because it is very personal to me (Abrie) and my family. Many of the women in my family have battled, survived and are currently battling breast cancer. Without the availability of mammograms, they would not be survivors. I can’t express how important it is for everyone – man or woman – rich or poor – young or elder – to have access to breast cancer screenings. I also think that this fundraising event couldn’t come at a better time – October – Breast Cancer Awareness Month<\/a><\/span>. So bust out your pink ribbons and pink sports bras and let’s lift some heavy stuff in support of Barbells for Boobs<\/a><\/span>!<\/p>\n

This fundraising event will kick-off at 8:00 a.m. at our gym location of 423 Commercial Drive, Units C & D in Thomasville, Georgia. We will be hosting two CrossFit WODs in support of Barbells for Boobs<\/a><\/span> – GRACE<\/strong> for individual participants and HELEN MEETS GRACE<\/strong> for two-person teams. There is no registration fee to compete in either of these events, but we ask that you register with us by sending an email to abrie@gabastrength.com with your name(s), phone #, and the WOD you wish to complete no later than Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. The following are the Rx’d specifics for each workout – however, these can be scaled down so that anyone can participate. You must be at least 18 years old to participate or be accompanied by your legal guardian.<\/p>\n
