This weekend some of us are headed out to CrossFit Tri-Cities in St. Charles to participate in the 4th Annual Murph for Miller. Each participant donates $25 that goes to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation. They provide scholarships to the kids of men and women who die in battle.
"Murph" is a CrossFit hero workout named after Navy SEAL LT Michael Murphy who received the Medal of Honor after dying in battle. We do the "Murph" workout in honor of US Army Staff Sgt Rob Miller. He is a local boy from Wheaton who was killed in Afghanistan while providing cover fire for his wounded Captain. His efforts saved his Captain's life and allowed his unit to return fire to the enemy. He received the Medal of Honor post-humously.
We put ourselves through these painful workouts to show our support to the men and women in combat and to raise money for their families. If you would like to join us, cheer us on, or donate to the foundation let me know!
