The C word is powerful. It means cancer and chemo…To too many it means pain, suffering, loss. To others it means luck, faith, time. At CFOIB it means all of those things, but also–more so–it means struggle, resilience, life.

Today, the C word also means congratulations. Larry, the mayor of CFOIB and 7-year veteran, for your fight outside of the gym and your unwavering fight in the Open, we are honored to announce that you have been named the Spirit of the CFOIB Open award winner. We  you!

To demonstrate just how much spirit, dedication, and heart Larry has, we’ve asked and received permission to post the following text he sent recently to Coach K:

“Thank you for coaching and loving me through the Open. I heard every word of guidance and encouragement you gave me the entire way, especially today. But today’s words resonated the most was in the round of 9 thrusters you told me “you have been through worse”… I have but, today was my victory lap over Stage 4 Neck and Throat Cancer. I heard the voices of my crossfit family pulling and pushing me through, I rejoiced with every rep. I was not my best, but in more ways than not I have never been better. Who knew that when you started me in Crossfit seven years ago it would have prepared me for 16.5. So thank you for your friendship and being there for me. Thank you to all my coaches for helping me grow as an athlete. And thanks to my Crossfit OIB family for the blessing they are in my life. Now it’s time to look forward to 17.5. To take each day for the gift that it is and for the difference we can make. Because you have definitely made a difference in mine, Thank You!”
