Here is the back story:
"My apartment burned down and we lost everything"
That is the message I got yesterday from Ken S, an Active Duty member of the U.S. Army, and a long time member of CrossFit Plano.
He and his wife lost everything they possess to that fire. (At least everyone is okay)
The great news - they have renter's insurance.
The bad news - they have nothing to sustain them while waiting for the insurance company to pay out, which may take weeks.
Ken and his wife Rachel met while training at CrossFit Plano, waaayyyy back in 2008 or 2009.
They both became a core part of our community and even helped run the place a little (with the help of a few others) while I regrouped and launched CrossFit Plano version 2.0.
Ken even went as far as getting Level 1 certified.
He is a CrossFitter to the core.
And even though they have moved on (Ken is awaiting special training on the East coast) I would like for us to help them in a small way.
We are hosting a WoD this Saturday (I know it's short notice) aptly named "Stew".
It will be similar to our Thanksgiving Day or Christmas Eve WoDs.
It is OPEN to everyone - members and non memers alike - all Crossfitters, family, friends, etc.
All that I ask is for each person to donate a measly $10 cash to help our fellow CrossFitters.
I think it would be really helpful if we can send a few hundred bucks to these guys.
When we do, we'll post a photo of the check to our blog.
And BTW, Ken asked me for help and has no expectations of getting help from our community!
