Inaugural "Belchik" Memorial WOD
8/22/2015 -

ALTON - The Belchik family and Iron House CrossFit invites the public to attend the Inaugural "Belchik" Memorial WOD. Iron House CrossFit is dedicating this day to honor a local, fallen hero and raise money for the US Veterans Foundation. 

Participants will complete a hero workout in honor of Christopher Belchik, who was killed in action in Iraq in 2004. Christopher was from Alton and has family in the area, including our members, Brian Belchik and Jennifer Fiedler Belchik. We will do a tribute to Christopher, his family, and all the other veterans who have served, especially those that have paid the ultimate price. All the numbers in this workout have significance to Christopher and his service.
