From a post by Joe from Reddoor CrossFit on Tuesday May 12th:
As many of you know, and some of you may not, friend of the gym Allison Gagnon was recently diagnosed with a rare form of Leukemia that I can’t pronounce. Allison first started with us right after the birth of her son Jordyn. Her and her sister-in-law Carrie De Wayne did On-Ramp together. Around the same time, her husband Beau, whom I worked with when I was in the Reserves, began joining us as well. With Beau in the Navy, you knew they would eventually have to move away. Allison stayed behind in Green Bay while Beau was away on the ship and continued to CrossFit with us. With him gone, we became her go-to family/support group. And there was also that time everyone did a WOD with wall balls taped to their bellies…but anyways… Fast forward to last week, when Allison got the horrible news. Being a young mother of three is hard enough. Add onto that the difficulty of being a Military Wife. If I know Allison, this cancer doesn’t have a chance.
Allison starts chemo on Tuesday. They say she has up to 60 days of it this round. As our thoughts and prayers are with Allison and her family, we dedicate tomorrow’s WOD to her. If she can go through what she is about to, you sure as hell can make it out and get a little sweat on the mat for her! Also, I want all of you guys to take pictures of your sweat angels and/or after shots of you post-WOD. Post them to the Facebook page for Allison.
Reddoor is hosting a workout benefiting Allison every Tuesday under the hashtag #WOD4Allison  All money collected from drop-ins will go directly to helping her and her family through this difficult time. They also have headbands for sale with proceeds going to her. If you feel like checking out some different CrossFit scenery there is no better excuse than this.
