In loving memory of Gordon Chapman – CrossFit 3D from Razorstorm on Vimeo.
Yesterday, CrossFit Tameside took a road trip to CrossFit 3D for our Workout of the Day. One of CrossFit 3D’s members, Adam Chapman lost his dad Gordon to cancer, in December 2010. Although he was too poorly to ever attend 3D, he fought his cancer like a true CrossFitter. Never giving up, always battling harder even when the going got very tough.
He spent his last few days at St John’s hospice in Clatterbridge, Cheshire. We wanted to show how great our community is by gathering together and celebrating Gordon’s spirit by having a great workout and digging deep to raise money for the Hospice which is run by volunteers on a donation basis.
Over 40 people ran through the workout ‘Gordon’ raising £331.91 on the day and nearly £400 more online. Sometimes it might seem that word ‘community’ is overused in CrossFit but if you can come up with a better one then I want to know it.
