SFHW Vengeance Charity Event

SFHW Vengeance Charity Event
Written by Invictus Member Theresa Hornick

On Saturday, January 26th, 2013, Invictus will be hosting an incredibly meaningful and awesome event that will make you sweat for something greater than yourself – the SFHW Vengeance Charity event!  Together we will perform a hero memorial workout – the Vengeance WOD – and sweat in remembrance of the 7 Marines who died on February 22nd, 2012 in a training accident in Yuma, Arizona.

Together our goal is to raise over $1,000 for SEMPER FIDELIS HEALTH and WELLNESS (SFHW), a non-profit 501(c)(3). This organization brings a whole new meaning to holistic health when working with wounded warriors. SFHW is dedicated to improving the lives of all their members through health and wellness, with a special concern for those who suffer from wounds and injuries, post traumatic stress disorder and other combat related illnesses, chronic pain, disease, obesity and addiction.

The Workout:

7 Rounds for time (with a 20 minute time cap):
Power Snatch x 4
Power Clean x 6
Deadlift x 9

Weight: 135#/95#/Scaled

You will be able to sign up for heat times for the workout.  Some of your favorite vendors – Not So Fast Paleo Food Truck and Life As RX, to name a few, will be at the event.  We will also hold a raffle with cool prizes to raise money for the charity.  You can donate in person or online: http://sfhw.kintera.org/invictuscrossfit

If you are a wounded or injured athlete and interested in participating, we want you there and will be able to adjust the workout accordingly, so please email [email protected] for details.
