"Amazing “Grace” began as a small, local fundraising event to help fund mammograms for the young women of Southern California who couldn’t afford one themselves. Thanks to a ton of support (and sweat!) from our local CrossFit community, we were able to raise $4000 and fund our very first mammogram.
Before we knew it, we were receiving countless emails and phone calls from CrossFit affiliates from around the world asking how they could participate and help our cause. We are proud to say, that just one year after the inaugural event, we have over 400 CrossFit Affiliates from all over the world participating in the 2010 Amazing “Grace” fundraiser.
Mammograms In Action is a non-profit organization located in Lake Forest, CA. Our mission is to provide funding for qualified women who need screening and/or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast cancer. By supporting MIA you help low-income and uninsured women. 100% of the proceeds of Amazing “Grace” will be donated to Mammograms In Action."
So as you can see, this was for a great cause how could you say no? I met some awesome people and got my WOD on. I couldn't ask for anything else. Well except for a new PR but 1:46! The last time I saw Grace was 04 August. Yeah I'm pretty happy.
