Story

CrossFit Plymouth - Heroes helping Heroes!

A team of 8 hardy souls from CrossFit Plymouth have accepted the challenge of attempting to complete the Plymouth half marathon on May the 29th 2011 carrying a stretcher with mock wounded soldier (Ellie Carter-Silk).  We have completed a 4 mile training run and it was 'honking'!  By the time we complete this our hands and shoulders will be a mess.  We are doing this to raise money and awareness for our military brothers and sisters who bravely face adversity on a daily basis via the charity Help for Heroes. 

We have done various challenges over the last 3 years, but this proves to be the toughest challenge yet.  In addition to a contribution, we would really appreciate your verbal support on the day.  The race starts at 8.30am this year, so get up early an cheer all the runners on, but look out for the stretcher and give a big cheer for CrossFit Plymouth.

We also have a group of 3 guys running the whole event with a log on their shoulder (and why not?)

Many thanks for taking the time to look at our page, if you think our efforts are worthy of a few pennies for a great cause follow the simple procedures.

Many thanks
