So I get home the other day and my wife tells me she has something to show me on the old PVR.  Turns out it is Oprah.  Now I’m not an Oprah watcher so I’m a bit skeptical but she tells me its really cool and I would like it.  Not wanting to piss her off I give her the benefit of the doubt and have a look (I know, I’m smarter than I look).

Let me tell you this…IT IS AMAZING!  Seriously, watch this and tell me it isn’t cool.  Its a bit long but the last few minutes are how it was pulled off so its worth checking it out.

Now I didn’t put this on here just to show you something cool although I do do that on occasion.  I’m going to start plugging out 2nd Annual Fight Gone Bad Fundraiser.  We are still finalizing who we want to do it with (which charity will get the cash) but we should know by weeks end.

When we did this last year we barely had 100 members and only 50 participated / helped out.  We now have over 200 members.  Think FlashMob…now think about what I am going to term FlashWOD!  Wouldn’t it be wicked to see 120+ people go through this workout together?

Now of course we would have to do it in heats to allow for counters, space and equipment but I think we could easily pull off a MINIMUM of 120.  By the way, last year with 50 people we raised over $22, 000 and it was donated to the Christmas Bureau of Edmonton.  This year will go towards another local charity we just have to figure out which one.

I am stating publicly that we have a goal this year of $35, 000!  How sick will it be to get a giant cheque made up and have everyone show up and hand it over to a deserving LOCAL charity.  Gives me the warm and fuzzies for sure.

We’ll let you guys know the details as they get worked out so stay tuned and get ready to pester your friends and coworkers for money.  Its not as hard as you think it might be (the money thing…the workout is just gross) and if you’re skeptical about this talk to anyone that was there last year.  We had a great time and then we partied afterwards…what could be better.  Also, don’t forget about prizes!  We had tonnes of sweet giveaways and this year will be no different.
