Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After watching a dairy farmer who had stuck around to protect his family's home and cattle desperately plead for help we decided we needed to do something.

We have all seen the devastation that has been caused by the bushfires in Australia.

It is a nightmare for so many and unfortunately it’s not over.

So we are reaching out to the global CrossFit community to show its support by joining us to throwdown on Australia's national holiday weekend (Fri 24th - Mon 27th January) to raise money for the below support agencies.

We have a lofty goal of raising AU$250,000 (US$175,000) split between two charities.

Red Cross (donate here)

&

WIRES (Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation)

With far too many lives lost, 

… hundreds of fires burning, 

… thousands of homes destroyed, 

… tens of thousands of people being evacuated, 

… heading towards a million hectares of bush burned 

… and an estimated half a billion animals lost.

These numbers are sadly constantly changing. We have a few more months left of the official bushfire season and there's no telling what could happen between now and then.

Even then, bushfires could continue to rage well after the official season is over.

So it’s our time to band together as a community and show our support.
