From Cindy Horton, CS Salem: Hello fellow CrossFitters!
I am a member at CrossFit Salem (CFS) in Oregon. We are spreading the word about an organization near and dear to our hearts- the Everyday Warrior (EW) foundation and its first fundraising event The Battle Series. Its founder Brittany Gill, a trainer at CFS, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in November 2013. Brittany started EW during her journey through chemo treatments with the intent to benefit others- specifically CrossFitters- during their battle with cancer.
We lost Brittany this past Sunday, September 28, 2014, but we are continuing her quest and carrying on her passion for this cause.
The Battle Series is an annual 4 week online competition hosted each November. Participants will complete 1 workout a week over 4 weeks, much like the CrossFit Open! There will be various divisions to include RX, Scaled and Masters to ensure everyone can go to battle! Scaled and Masters divisions will do the same workouts, Masters is 40+. Additional guidelines will be posted later this week however the following movements will NOT be programmed for any division: Muscle Ups (bar or ring), Ring Dips, Handstand Walks, Rope Climbs.
Please watch this video, register for The Battle Series, share with your members, and help us fulfill the vision Brittany had for Everyday Warrior and the CrossFit community. https://www.everyday-warrior.org/battle-series/ http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8aDGJUAzQD4
