31 Days of Beach Living: Day 11 Breast Mode Success!!!

 

31days day 11

Yesterday was such a fabulous day!!! Many members of the Hampton Roads CrossFit Community came out to WOD, raise money for mammograms and awareness to breast cancer.  Dawn and her box CrossFit Unparalleled hosted this amazing event! Check out my box CrossFit Chronic’s Facebook Page and the amazing photos by Cute E’s Photography.

Penny and I were able to raise over $400. More than double our original goal. I want to send a special shout out to The Navy Wives Clubs of America Princess Anne #143 for their donation of $240.00 and CFC member Staci for her donation of $100.00.

Here are some of the pictures that Cute E’s Photography took of my 9:30 a.m. heat with teammate Penny.
