On SATURDAY, DECEMBER 16, Daybreak CrossFit will be honoring McCrae Williams, son of long time Daybreak CrossFit member, Chris Williams. We are partnering with McCrae’s family to host the “MW3” Hero WOD where ALL donations will benefit the McCrae James Williams Foundation. Daybreak CrossFit will also donate 1-month Unlimited Memberships to the top 5 donors. 

McCrae Williams: 01.29.98 – 09.12.17

McCrae touched many people in his 19 years and, although his life was cut tragically short, it was a life well-lived and one full of incredible experiences.  He was a Division 1 lacrosse recruit at Lafayette collage and died a few weeks into his freshman year.  Beyond lacrosse, he loved art (especially video production and editing and graphic arts), family, travel and friends.  Many people have remarked that he had a unique ability to connect with people of all ages and understand them.

In his memory, his family and friends continue to celebrate his accomplishments, and are now focused on raising awareness on the importance of good samaritan policies and the dangerous practice of JanSporting (aka Backpacking, DrunkPacking or Turtling).  Every parent has seen a recent article about a college student dying. You may even know of someone whose son or daughter has died at school. The truly tragic fact is that if help were called, most if not all of these kids would be alive today. Unfortunately, there are only a few poorly funded organizations working to understand and resolve the problem.
