Lift Up Autism 2016
In October 2013, the CrossFit community rallied together in spectacular fashion to support the Autism community in a worldwide workout event called LiftUpLuke. This ‘competition for a cause’ specifically sought to support early diagnosis and treatment of Autism, raise funds, and turn a global spotlight on the severe impact of Autism on families and individuals around the world. This year, under the more inclusive name of Lift Up Autism, athletes and coaches will get their chance to compete for the third year in a row, in an effort to raise money and awareness. Below are just a few of the South Florida locations that will be participating this month in Lift Up Autism 2016.
- CrossFit Wynwood
- Zoom CrossFit, Doral
- CrossFit Miami Lakes

On October 22 of this year, men and women will team up in pairs (same sex) and compete to see who can finish the grueling workout the fastest. 60 clean and jerks per person is the ultimate challenge of one’s will and determination, especially in the Miami heat. There will be a $50 donation, per team, in order to register. The event is limited to 10 participants per time slot, with seven slots to choose from -so take action and register soon!
