Finding the Light Workout
We can all make a difference. With one workout we can all be a guiding light.
On Saturday, October 18th, both of our locations will be hosting the Finding the Light Workout in support of the Fighting Blindness Foundation and in honor of blindness awareness month during our regular Saturday class times!
The workout was programmed by Kym Dekeyrel, competitive CrossFit athlete and 2021 Fittest on Earth in the vision division.

"I live in darkness and it is so easy to give into it, but every day I make the choice to find the light. I was born with a degenerative eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa, and was told when I was five years old that with time I would gradually lose my sight. I lost my central vision first, taking away details and depth perception and by young adulthood I was left with small islands of peripheral vision. But it was eight years ago now that I was rushed into emergency surgery that saved my life but in turn left me totally blind. I became lost within the darkness until the day that my husband brought me into the CrossFit gym for the first time. The CrossFit community instantly embraced me for what I could do instead of judging me for what I could not. I felt liberated, and from that point on I thrived. I started to become who I truly feel I was meant to be. CrossFit has given me strength that I want to share with others like myself. I want to encourage others to know that blindness does not define us, and we can do so much more than we think possible.” Kym
