This workout will be a benefit WOD for Zach Miller of CrossFit Pittsburgh who was in a terrible car accident, and he remains comatose. His friends share his story here:

To support the fund set up by CrossFit Pittsburgh to help defray his medical costs (Zach has no health insurance), CrossFit King of Prussia is holding a benefit WOD on August 18, 2012. Everyone is welcome, with a suggested donation of $25 made to the Z-Fund East Coast. To make a donation, Click here. Donations will also be accepted (cash only) at CrossFit King of Prussia on the day of the benefit. 100% of the donations will go directly to the Zach Miller fund. If you are a member of CFKoP you can use this as one of your regular classes.

Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming out today. It means so much to me that we came together as a community to help one of our own. We raised over 1200 at this point, and money is still trickling in. Thank you to the volunteers, the athletes, the judges, Ryan for his awesome photos, and Aimee and Jason for opening up the gym for this event. You're all awesome.

xoxo
