Today, there are 3 million people in the United States living with epilepsy. About a month ago, a long time member of CFG living with epilepsy unfortunately experienced a epileptic seizure causing him to badly injure his shoulder and other bruises weeks before his CrossFit competition. Leonardo Genna didn’t let that stop him from staying committed and dedicated to the CrossFit Glendale community. Although told by doctors, family and ME not to continue training, Lenny was still in the Box working with his teammates practicing for Flex. Leonardo’s reply was “Keep moving, keep doing the things that I like, I’ll keep going”.

As a two-time Games Athlete, I work every day to push my body to reach its physical best while overcoming the challenges of seizures. I do not let epilepsy hold me back from accomplishing my dreams. My goal is to inspire others to overcome the challenges of epilepsy, share their stories, improve their health and raise funds to find a cure. Last September, I ran 500 miles across the state of Colorado and raised awareness and over $50,000 for the Epilepsy Foundation as part of my Move Mountains campaign. This year, I am asking my CrossFit family to join me to Move Mountains in their own boxes by participating in a Charity WOD to help raise more funds and awareness on October 19th, the anniversary date of my 500-mile run across the Colorado Rockies.” – Jenny LaBaw Then…, Extra Credit…,
