Fitness fanatics do it for a smile

Four regular faces from CrossFit Nelspruit have decided to donate R1 per repetition to Operation Smile during each of the open WOD's done at the box at their new venue, Orchard Village.

Not only do they train to be physically prepared for any challenge, they also stay fit for charity one repetition at a time.

Four regular faces from CrossFit Nelspruit have decided to donate R1 per repetition to Operation Smile during each of the open WOD’s done at the box at their new venue, Orchard Village.

Ruhan Koekemoer, Victor Soares, Gustav Pavlu, and Glenn Harnden have decided to team up and donate as much money as possible during their intense workouts.

The final round of the Crossfit Open occured on March 27, 2015.

In total 38 athletes represented CrossFit Nelspruit in the Crossfit Open which lasted five weeks. The CrossFit Open took place each Friday afternoon at the Orchard Village from 15:00-19:00.

“We are very happy that we can contribute to this worthy cause.

“We donated enough for four children’s smiles. In total we raised R10 640 thus far,” stated CrossFit box owner Ruhan Koekemoer.

The main plan will still be to reach a target of R16 000 for Operation Smile.

Operation Smile is a non-profit volunteer medical organisation that provides free reconstructive facial surgery.
