If you were around last year, you likely remember the story. Dan ‘Afghan’s’ brother-in-law Wes, a member of the US Navy who was married to Dan’s sister, was tragically killed in a helicopter accident.

We got together in his honour and did a savage beat down of a workout together, and raised some money via donations in the process. I remember Dan racing out the door to complete his second 800 meter run of the workout with crazy eyes that didn’t want to quit – an emotional sight.

This Family Day, Dan is hosting the workout again (Reminder classes are at 10 am and 5 pm). Come join us!

Also, a story was written about Wes and the politics surrounding the state of helicopters in the US military today. If you didn’t see it on Facebook, it’s worth reading. Incredibly emotional and difficult to read, but also very well written and informative. CHECK IT OUT!

    You'll need to set up a wordpress.com login, but then you can be super cool like Nerd-Bird and have your real photo come up... ;)
