CrossFit Teesside – Dawn till Dusk Roseberry Topping Challenge

One of our members Andy Moss sadly lost his little boy Archie last year. Archie was born at 25 weeks, 15 weeks early weighing only 1lb 10oz. Although he was a fighter and overcame many hurdles, after 46 days it was one hurdle too many and he passed away in his mummy’s arms on 10th November 2014 in the RVI Hospital in Newcastle. Both Andy and Carrie stayed at Crawford House which is funded by the Sick Children’s Charity. Without them they would have had to stay in a hotel miles away from where Archie was.

To raise money for this, charity our owner and coach Lee Howe, Head Coach Dave Butterfield and 3 of our members Andy Moss, Paul Briggs, and Anthony Chisman are going to AMRAP (as many runs as possible) up and down Roseberry Topping (which is 1,049 feet high) from Dawn till Dusk on Saturday 25th July in a relay. Anyone is welcome to come and join us during the challenge, whether you want to take part all day, jump in for a few relays or just come and show your support, your help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank you to those who have donated so far, if you would still like to donate to this great cause, the Link is posted below.
