This Saturday CrossFit Lando will be partaking in a community event that hits home more than others. We will be one of the gym’s hosting Pat’s WOD, part of the PR for Pat movement that is being done to raise money for Pat Padgett.
I posted about this a few weeks ago but wanted to touch up on it now and get all the final details in place for Saturday. Pat has been a friend of mine for a few years. We got to know each other at CrossFit Fenway where he would come workout with the trainers pretty much every day. He would do the same at CrossFit Southie when I worked there too. He is now stricken with a terrible disease, cancer, that is threatening his life. With your help threaten is all that the disease will be able to do as Pat is one of the toughest dudes I know. He has been a close friend of a lot of people in the community, Stacey and I included, and has even participated in an event here at Lando last year. So we want to do as much as we can. This is about Pat and his struggle and how awesome he is doing with his fight. He recently had surgery on the cancer in his throat and is rehabbing his butt off. He faces a long road that he is going to tackle full on and the fundraising efforts from around the CrossFit community will help him along the way.
Saturday at CFL: This Saturday we will be hosting Pat’s WOD which is like a Hero WOD where we will be doing the WOD for something bigger than us, bigger than CrossFit, we will be doing it for someone else. We will also be raising money for Pat on this day and actually all week. We want actually cash donations so we can write a big ass check and we can know how much we raised through CFL. So bring straight cash anytime this week up through Saturday and put in the provided jar at the front desk. All amounts are welcome! Bring friends and family regardless of members or if they even CrossFit to come participate. The WOD will start at 10am and we will do it in 2 heats, 10am and 10:30am, with room for an 11:00am heat if needed. Plan on getting there by 9:30 to sign up for a time and know what the deal is. We will be doing this similar to the Open WODs earlier this year.
Get in here Monday and get started with a great week. We have a lot of things happening and starting the next few weeks so stay tuned. Let’s make this whole week for Pat!
