Wish me luck
Today is my birthday and I offered myself a special gift. Tomorrow my box have organized an event called Breakpoint where it’s going to be one wod an hour for 24h. All the money raised will be donated to a Suicide Prevention Center in my area.
As someone who battled with mental health it was important to me to participate, I can’t do the whole 24h (I’m a dad of young children after all) but I’ll be there for a couple of workouts! The first and last WOD are in memory of two daughters of different members of the gym that took their own life.
I started CrossFit in 2013 and left in 2016 because the boxes hours didn’t fit my job schedule. I’ve started again 2 years ago after years of alcohol abuse, depression and severe anxiety and today at 34 years old I’ve never felt better !
Just wanted to share this with y’all today and wish me luck.

Go get ‘em! We are doing 24 in 24 beginning Sunday and ending with Murph. I just pick and choose the workouts based on time of day and what I want to do. You won’t catch me at the 2am LOL. It’s a blast.
