Dear Friends-
As you undoubtedly are aware, on August 6, 2011, 31 of America's bravest heroes were lost when the helicopter they were flying in was shot down as they rushed to the aid of fellow soldiers engaged in a pitched battle in the mountains of Afghanistan.
Among those lost that day were 22 Navy SEALs, 3 Air Force airmen, and 5 Army Helicopter Crew Members.
On Saturday, September 3rd, 2011, I will be joining thousands of other athletes in a special workout to honor these great men. The workout is going to be hosted at Crossfit Gyms all over the world. Proceeds from the event -- 31Heroes -- will go directly to the families affected by this tragedy and is our way of lending support to those who have given so much for their nation.
It would mean a lot to me if you could support this event in one or more of the ways outlined below:
- Come cheer me on. The actual workout will be a grueling challenge that is worthy of the men it honors. I will be participating at CrossFit Impavidus and the workout starts at 1000.
- Register for the event yourself. You can register at http://31heroes.com
- Make a direct donation. You can do so here: http://31heroes.com/donations/
Thanks for supporting this very important cause. Your contribution sends an important message of support to the families of our fallen heroes.
Thank you,
