WE WANT YOUR STORY

On October 19, 2013 Josh Everett, TrainHeroic, 
and 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 for the Autism Tree Project Foundation in San Diego, and most importantly, turn a global spotlight on the measured and severe impact of Autism on families and individuals around the world.

This year, we're upping the ante and doubling down our efforts to take the impact of the event to another level...and WE WANT YOUR STORY! Please share your reason why YOU are LIFTING UP AUTISM this September by sharing a short video of your story on the link HERE -- every story and every child matters and we want yours! 

GET INSPIRED @  www.liftupautism.com

RSVP today for the 7th Annual USD Football Player Mentor Program Meet & Greet at Manchester Field, USD Campus
