In 2018, 13-year-old _sydney.fowler_ and her dad started CrossFit together at crossfitwando. Just a few months later, Fowler was paralyzed from the chest down from a staph infection. It was the CrossFit community that provided Fowler and her family support through the nine months she was in the hospital and the years following. When Fowler returned to CrossFit, her first workout was at a “Train With Rich” event at crossfitmayhem. “I was working out with Tia and Rich and the fittest people on Earth … me and Tia were going back and forth on a snatch complex … . It was so inspiring,” she said. For the last seven years, Fowler has continued to show up to CrossFit, adapt, and prove to herself that, “life is still going to be worth living. There’s still so much that I can do.” #HumansofCrossFit #AdaptiveCrossFitGames electriccityfitnessco crossfitwando
