Barbells for Boobs

Monday Oct. 15th CrossFit Solano will be hosting the event Barbells for Boobs. Barbells for Boobs is a non-profit breast cancer organization whose mission is to provide funding for qualified low-income and uninsured women and men who need screening and/or diagnostic procedures in the prevention of breast cancer. We will be doing a workout called "Grace", 30 clean and jerks for time.



The Goal of Barbells for Boobs: To provide funding to breast cancer centers globally through our Mammograms in Action grant program as a "last resort" resource for thousands of people who do not qualify for government funding or other charitable resources. Funding for screenings and diagnostic procedures is not only a necessity, but really does save lives.
Our mission is possible, our message is simple: Save a pair. Save a life.

This is a cause that is so close to my heart. I will be participating in this workout and ask that you take action by sponsoring me and making a donation to Barbells for Boobs at my donation page.

• 232,620 Cases of breast cancer detected in 2011
• 7% of women diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 40
• 2.6 million breast cancer survivors in the US as of 2011

Barbells for Boobs work is focused on "filling the gap" in breast health care as a last resort funding resource for women and men who:

• Are symptomatic and don't meet the current requirements for age (typically under 40)
• Are unable to afford screening service, with or without insurance
• Don't qualify for government funding or other charitable programs
