CrossFit Goodland is hosting a fundraiser Saturday, June 4th 2011 to support some great local causes. We have teamed up with H.E.E.A.L. and “Praying for Nina” to raise some funds through a competitive workout.
H.E.E.A.L (Hope through Exercise, Energy, and Art for Life) is a new local non-profit serving the Santa Barbara community. They offer an alternative to traditional talk-therapy to those dealing with grief and loss by focusing on creative and physical outlets involving exercise and art to advocate healthy and holistic healing.
“Praying for Nina” is a foundation supporting the family of Nina Fredeen. Nina was only 5 years old when she was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Giloma (DIPG), an inoperable tumor of the brain stem. She died just 2 days shy of her 6th birthday on February 21, 2011. Her mother Rosy describes her as follows: “Nina is like a ray of sunshine. Once you meet her, it is hard not to fall in love and want to spend time with her. She is warm, full of sass and sweetness, with the most contagious sense of humor. It is hard to be around Nina and not smile, even when she is beastly! Her heart is generous and she is eager to be happy, even in the middle of turmoil. Nina’s presence, like sunshine, brightens everything!”
The workout will be as follows:
“Nina”
As Many Rounds as Possible in 15 Minutes
Row 15 Calories
5 155/105lb Squat Clean
