What is Lift Up Autism?
"Josh Everett, TrainHeroic, and the CrossFitâ„¢ community rallied together in spectacular fashion to support the Autism community in a worldwide workout event called LiftUpLuke on October of 2013.
This "competition for a cause" specifically sought to support early diagnosis and treatment of Autism, raise funds for the Autism Tree Project Foundation in San Diego, and most importantly, turn a global spotlight on the measured and severe impact of Autism on families and individuals around the world."
We have contacted Josh at Lift Up Autism to let him know that CrossFit Edmonton wanted to participate in the event but wanted any donations to go to Canadian charities.
"This is all about awareness and we'd be happy if you participated and donated any cash donations that your members bring to the event to the local charity of your choice.
Josh"
Our members Ange and Joanna have suggested a few charities where donations can be made.
If you
would like to donate at the door please
bring $5 and CFE will donate to the charity of choice.
