11/15 Gold Star Family Hero Workout

Saturday we are doing the Hero Workout Gunny as a fundraiser to support his Gold Star Family. A Gold Star Family is one who has lost their service member while on active duty. We are raising funds to support Sgt. Maj. Barreras's widow. She lives in Deer Lodge and is facing a housing crisis. Her newly purchased home was declared uninhabitable through a series of very unfortunate events. She is living in a camper on her property while she works through her options. We are joining forces with Impact Montana and several other Veteran Service Organizations to raise funds to provide her secure housing through the winter. You can bring a cash donation on Saturday and I will also provide a QR code to scan to make an online donation. 
Command Sgt. Maj. Martin "Gunny" Barreras, 49, of Tucson, Arizona, died on May 13, 2014, of wounds he sustained during an attack on his unit on May 6, 2014. Barreras was well known for his contributions to the successful rescue of Jessica Lynch in 2003. He joined the Marine Corps in 1983 and the Army Rangers in 1988. He was the senior enlisted adviser in the 2nd Battalion, 5th Infantry, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss, Texas.
He used CrossFit training to improve his fitness and the fitness of his unit. Murph and Griff were among his favorite workouts.
He is survived by his wife and family, who now live in Deer Lodge, Montana. 
You can join us at the gym Saturday at 9am to do this workout together, or it's one you can do on your own.
