"Pressing Development and Squats"(8.31.2010)

Split Jerk Feet Positioning…



“Drug and Alcohol Charity Event” at CrossFit Delaware Valley, Saturday, November 13th, 2010:
I have some great news and a great event for anyone who is willing to attend a great fundraiser for a great cause. I have been speaking to Carlos Gibson from CrossFit Delaware Valley over the last 2 weeks and he has decided to put on a fundraiser to raise money for drug rehabilation sites for recovering drug addicts. Carlos brother, Frankie, died four years ago to a heroin overdose and has been a big part in Carlos success as a CrossFitter. Carlos has dedicated time to make aware the problem that America is facing with drug addiction in our society. I myself am taking part in this great event, and trying to get the word out to all CrossFit Affiliates to make donations to his charity organization. The proceeds will go to two rehab facilities that house recovering drug addicts. This is a awareness event to recoginize the problem American faces in the epidemic of drug addiction.
