On the 01.02.25 CFG are hosting a Team marathon in aid of Baby loss awareness with all proceeds going to the charity “Tommys”.
As many of you may know, in 2024 myself and partner Al were so excited to welcome our daughter into the world who was due at the beginning of March. Devastatingly, at 35 weeks and 2 days, we received then news that our baby no longer had a heartbeat. Al then gave birth to our beautiful girl Penny Pearl Brackenridge on the 02.02.24. It was and still is an utterly heart breaking time for us all. It is so important for us to celebrate our daughters legacy, and in doing so raising awareness and money for charity’s who are working to make a change in pregnancy and baby loss.
In a team of 4 you will complete a marathon between you. The marathon will be split between bike erg, ski erg, row erg and running. Each domain must complete 6.55 miles / 10.542 meters, you can split the work however you want between your team. Every hour on the hour, 6 teams will start the event. Start time TBC and allocated.
Don’t worry if you feel you cannot participate but want to still get involved, we still have:
- An online raffle before the event with amazing prizes to be won!
- A cake sale on the day!
- Pop up drinks by The Secret Garden!
- Pop up Paella by Sean Lee!
Please come along as we want the best atmosphere for our darling daughter Penny.
So come and cheer all our participants on in this amazing challenge for all our babies gone too soon!
Our CrossFit Teens classes are a great way for young people to get involved in physical fitness and learn about healthy habits. These classes typically follow the same principles as adult CrossFit workouts but are modified to be age-appropriate and safe for children. CrossFit Teens classes may include exercises such as bodyweight movements, gymnastics, and weightlifting, as well as games and other fun activities to keep everyone engaged and motivated.
Penny’s Wings 2026
On February 2nd our darling daughter Penny will turn two years old. This year we have chosen to celebrate her birthday with a different challenge… The National Three Peaks Challenge!
This event will run from the 26th-28th June 2026… not in February as you may have thought! This is for safety reasons and in favour of weather conditions.
How will it run… On the 26th June we will travel up to Scotland in two mini buses, we will stay overnight at a local hotel and be up bright and early to head up Ben Nevis at 6.00am on the 27th June. By 6.00am on the 28th June we should be at the bottom of Snowdon (having already completed Ben Nevis and Scafell). Then off home we go having completed the challenge in under 24 hours!
This is a massive challenge, schedules will be tight and the walking is not to be underestimated! However, it will be an unbelievable opportunity and an amazing way to honour our daughter Penny and all the babies gone too soon. 👼❤️
We will continue to raise money for Tommy’s who specialise in treating high risk pregnancies and prevention of baby loss.
As many of you know, it is the Tommy’s rainbow clinic at St Mary’s who brought Ruby into the world and we will forever be grateful to them. Last year we raised over 16k during our Penny’s Wings event and this money went directly to Professor Heazell and his team for research into stillbirth prevention. This felt like a small drop of water in the ocean gratitude we have for Alex and his team.
The Tommy’s charity funds clinics such as, rainbow clinics, placental clinics, Mavis clinics (high blood pressure) and preterm labour clinics. It is vital these clinics continue to run to a high standard to provide the best outcomes for families. No family should ever have to walk this path and we want to help in anyway we can.
We cannot wait to tackle the Three Peaks… who’s coming with us?! 🥾🏴🏴🏴
With love, Steve and Al 💖
