The sound of these three words ringing through the smoke and over the noise of the battlefield signify that the immediate fight is over.
They are the call for your team to close in together. To check everyone is ok. To protect one another while you prepare for the next phase of the operation.
The words don’t mean it’s all over. They are an abbreviation of ‘reorganise’; it’s a moment for the team and the individual to get ready because the mission continues.
That’s what REORG, the charity, does for the men and women who have served – Armed Forces veterans and emergency services personnel – it gives them a moment to check on each other, to prepare themselves mentally and physically. To allow them to continue on their next mission in life.
Whether it’s stress, trauma, burn-out or physical injury, REORG encourages our military and emergency services veterans to use physical training, coupled with professional mental health counselling, to get back on track, to get ready for what comes next.
WE NEED YOUR HELP
We want your money, your sweat – or both.
(Blood and tears are optional.)
REORG needs support to fund these placements and the professional counselling they offer to our emergency and military veterans.
Our aim is to raise £5,000 which equates to providing this powerful form of assistance to five well-deserving individuals for one year of fitness.
PentaLife CrossFit Chandler’s Ford is a REORG partner and we already support a number of members through their training programmes.
Those of you who are regulars at PentaLife will intuitively understand what this means: fantastic coaching, demanding but rewarding training and most importantly camaraderie, community and teamwork. (Those of you who aren’t – you are missing out! Sign up now!!)
HOW CAN YOU SUPPORT?
PentaLife is running a 24-hour event – the PLCF REORG Heroes Fundraiser from 8am on Saturday 12th July 2025 until 8am on Sunday 13th July 2025.
The plan will be to do a CrossFit Hero ‘workout of the day’ (WOD) every hour on the hour for 24 hours. (That’s a lot…)
We need PentaLife athletes to join us, support each other and we need sponsorship to raise the vital funds needed for this very worthy cause.
Please sign up to a workout. If you fancy doing loads of workouts, please find sponsorship to help you do so. If you can, please donate.
