CROSSFIT COMMUNITY TO HONOR CHAD WILKINSON and RAISE AWARENESS OF VETERAN SU***DE

Tomorrow, November 11th, we’re asking the community to join us and take on the challenge of CHAD1000X for Veterans Day @ 9:30am

Chad Wilkinson, a Navy SEAL, died by su***de on Oct. 29, 2018, due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast-wave injuries, and PTSD.

Wilkinson left behind a wife, two kids, and countless other friends and family members.

Since her husband’s death, Sara Wilkinson, a long-time member of the CrossFit community and trainer on CrossFit’s Seminar Staff, has been promoting awareness around veteran su***de and prevention through her nonprofit, The Step Up Foundation.

The Step Up Foundation raises funds to support programs dedicated to the research and treatment of combat-related injuries while honoring “our veterans and their invisible wounds.” Every year on Veterans Day, it unites people around the world with the workout CHAD1000X.

The workout consists of 1,000 step-ups with a weighted rucksack. Chad created the workout to train for the rigors of a near 23,000-foot summit in Argentina. After his death, CrossFit GM Dave Castro, along with some friends, did the workout as a way to honor Chad. Since then, CHAD1000X has become a rallying point for those struggling with mental health to join the community and focus on taking one more step. #crossfitcommunity #crossfithero #chad1000x #crossfit 11/10/2023
