#Barbells4Boobs aka The #PinkBraTour

On October 5, 2013 The #PinkBraTour came to Central Texas ... What is the Pink Bra Tour? It's a charity organization known as Barbells for Boobs.. This is an organization that is raising money through the CrossFit community. Participants raise money through completing a workout known as Grace..(this link will have the CrossFit definition/explanation of GRACE on their FAQs). What is Grace? Grace is lifting the barbell w/the weight you can lift (mine was 55#s) from the ground to above your head and back, 30 times. The Central Texas Cross Fit Community, so far has raised $24,115 to help low income or under-insured men & women obtain mamograms, help identify breast cancer early & help fight it! Here are some of the photographs I took at the event:


Early Detection Saves Lives - We need to get more people to complete self - exams ... Prevention is better than treatment..

Cheering on her Mommy


One of the things about CrossFit, is the support. Once someone is done w/their WOD (Work Out of the Day), they begin to cheer on the next person & so forth, that way, the last person to complete the WOD, isn't doing it alone, they have EVERYONE cheering them on... Just like this photograph shows :) 


Getting ready for the next "heat"


The family that owns the "box" ... They're Awesome :)


Inspirational, seeing the youngsters loving push ups, burpees & all that stuff.. Gonna make a healthier generation, that's for sure :)
