🚨Weekend Warrior Event September 19th, 2026🚨

No Soldier's Family Left Behind

Hello current and former members of the Box.

next Weekend Warrior event will be for Andy, Mindy, and the McDonald family. Many of you already know, but it is worth noting here, that Andy was hit with a nasty infection that ended up attacking his skin and internal organs requiring multiple surgeries. Because of this he continues to have open wounds on his abdomen which will take considerable time to heal. He is not completely out of the woods yet since open wounds create an increased infection risk and there is still the continued risk of the original bacteria coming back.

Andy, Mindy and their family have been so instrumental in continuing the traditions of CFB running the everyday operations and solidifying CFB as an elite fitness and spiritual oasis for those in St. Mary's. They have also been a big part of the St. Mary's community over the years with their contributions to the Shakespeare Festival, Red White and Blue celebrations, Patriot races, and so much more. In honor of their many contributions over the years, and in light of Andy's recent illness, join our CFB members in suffering through a fitting WoD and giving alms for their family. If you can come and do the workout!! Awesome!! If you can't do the workout, that's OK too!! Please, at the very least, drop off donations on that day and support their family by taking a few minutes to cheer on the other athletes. Thank you all so much for your support. The Box blossomed under Andy and Mindy as a gritty, no-nonsense approach to our physical and spiritual mindset. The Weekend Warrior encapsulates this and will be our way to thank them and support them in their time of need. God bless, and I hope to see you all on the 19th!!

P.S. -- If you have interest in doing the workout, please email me and I will communicate with you on the logistics. This is a workout anyone can do, no matter your conditioning.

From CFHQ:

“Every Memorial Day, something unique happens inside CrossFit affiliates around the world.
People gather with a mission.
Tape their hands.
Lace up their shoes.
Write names on whiteboards.
And together, they take on Murph.
For some, it’s their first time.
For others, it’s a tradition years in the making.
But every rep carries the same purpose:
to honor the life and sacrifice of Navy SEAL Lt. Michael Murphy.
Murphy was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005, during Operation Red Wings. He was later awarded the Medal of Honor for his courage and selflessness in combat.
The workout Murph was one of his favorites.
Originally called Body Armor, it became a CrossFit Hero workout in 2005 and has since become one of the most meaningful traditions in the CrossFit community.
1-mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 air squats
1-mile run
Done together.
Done with purpose.
Done in remembrance.
But Murph was never meant to be about finishing first or doing it unbroken.
It’s about showing up.
For your community.
For the person next to you.
For something bigger than yourself.
Every year, affiliates around the world take on Murph side by side — first-timers alongside Games athletes, scaled athletes alongside Rx’d competitors, entire communities moving together with shared purpose.
That’s what makes Murph different.
It’s not just a workout in CrossFit.
It represents what CrossFit is.”

I attach that quote above as I couldn't have said it better myself. That is what “Murph” is in the CrossFit world - and on a purely natural level, it's an honorable cause. But for us at CFB, it's even more. As you all know, being a Catholic Box, we can elevate the natural to the supernatural with our prayers and sufferings.

It's stories like that of Lt. Murphy that can motivate all of us on a higher level to pray and suffer for all the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in laying down their lives in the service of their country.

Combining the natural with the spiritual is what truly makes the workout special and reinvigorates our motives for the rest of the year. So come join your fellow CFB members this coming Memorial Day in combining forces to storm Heaven, praying for the fallen men and women of the US military and ask Our Lady to send extra graces to the families and friends they left behind. 🙏🏼
