Veteran Suicide Prevention
Sara Wilkinson, GORUCK, and CrossFit present the hero workout “CHAD” – in honor of Navy SEAL Chad Wilkinson who took his life on October 29, 2018 due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast wave injuries and PTSD. Our goal is to honor Chad’s life and legacy and to raise awareness for suicide prevention.
CHAD 1000X has brought together thousands of registered participants, as well as hundreds of thousands of dollars raised since 2020, looking to be part of something greater than themselves. To not only bring awareness to the epidemic of suicide, particularly among veterans, but also to help be part of the solution through the support to the The Step Up Foundation and other veteran health initiatives.
This year, join us again in paying respect to Chad Wilkinson and all those who have been lost to suicide, while also committing to try to change the number. #CHAD1000X

CHAD 1000X
The Workout
1,000 box step-ups completed as a team, partner, or individual for time.
3 OPTIONS:
1. Slick/Beginner // No rucksack. You pick the height of the step-ups.
2. Standard/Intermediate // 30#/20# rucksack. You pick the height of the step-ups.
3. Expert // 45# rucksack. Use 20" box for step-ups.
“Even while serving as a SEAL, Chad took time to scale up to the Expert version. There is zero shame in starting Slick, or with Standard weight, or in sharing the steps with a friend.”
— Sara Wilkinson
COT:
We do this not only as a tribute to the efforts to raise awareness of veteran suicide, but ultimately of our responsibility to recognize and understand there are those among us that continue to suffer in silence. Our F3 Coastal Empire brotherhood is a reflection of society, a slice of humanity represented by all different kinds of people. Chances are the brother to the left or right of you is going through the mental battle themselves. No one man is perfect, we are broken in some kind of way. And the beauty of our group is the circle of trust and our opportunity to be vulnerable with each other. Proud to be a part of F3 Coastal Empire and appreciate the opportunity to lead on Veterans Day today!
