As you all know, the Humboldt Hockey team got into a serious accident last Friday. 28 passengers were on board and 15 of them died in the accident when a truck T-boned their bus. This is a tragedy on many levels, for the survivors, for the parents, for the 1st responders and for everyone involved. CrossFit is about community, and it’s our time to come together and help. Today’s workout is all about the Broncos and everyone surrounding them. We hope that all of you, yes all of you will come to the gym today, do the workout and donate to the families. There are 2 ways you can donate, at the gym in cash or cheque and directly to the gofundmepage. If you donate on the gofundme page, we should all enter our name as CrossFit Pyro. All donations at the gym will go as a donation from CrossFit Pyro at the end of the day. Let’s make a difference together!

U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Andrew T. Weathers, 30, of DeRidder, Louisiana, died Sept. 30, 2014, at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.

Weathers was wounded Sept. 28 in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, when he heroically ran to a rooftop through hundreds of incoming rounds to repel an attack of insurgents who were attempting to overrun his position. His actions saved the lives of five U.S. Green Berets and nine Afghan Commandos at his location. Weathers was assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group, at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

Weathers is survived by his parents, Michael and Jere; sister, Carrie; brother, Dusten; and many other friends and family.
