You matter.

Hey everyone,

As some of you may know, my Uncle Rory sadly passed away on Sunday, 20th April. To honour his life, I’ll be taking on the CrossFit Hero WOD “Chad” — 1,000 box step-ups for time on a 20 inch box, while wearing a 35lb weighted backpack. This workout is inspired by Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson, who tragically lost his life to suicide in 2018.

This challenge is not only to remember him, but also to raise awareness around mental health and those out there suffering in silence, you’re not alone. I’ll be setting up a GoFundMe for those who would like to donate. Any generous contributions will go directly to support my two little cousins, Rex and Torrin.

If you’re ever struggling, please don’t suffer in silence. Reach out. Speak to someone. Sometimes, a simple conversation can truly save a life.

You are loved. You are worthy. You matter.

We love you, Grumpy
