Dear CrossFitters, In honor of Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day tomorrow, we will be doing Pukie Brewster as the finisher in all of the classes (150 burpees for time). As you may or may not know, I was seriously affected by HG with both of my pregnancies. I had HG for the entire 9 months during my pregnancy with Shayla, which is why I was absent from the gym. Since TRUE HG is rarely diagnosed, it doesnt get as much awareness (education/research) as it needs and women and babies suffer because of it, some fatally. Tomorrow, when you reach your 150th burpee and feel like puking, imagine feeling that way 24 hours a day for 9 months of your life. The suffering is real, so lets show these ladies some empathy by joining in on the fun. Also, Chris and I will be traveling to DC next weekend to help with the HER5k. You can do a virtual 5k along with us by logging onto helpher.org. There you can also learn more about Hyperemesis Graviadrum on that site. #HGaware #HGawareness Thanks for your support! 3,2,1....GO! Love, Maribel
