Navy SEAL Senior Chief Chad Wilkinson

Chad Wilkinson, a Navy SEAL, died by suicide on Oct. 29, 2018, due to the effects of numerous deployments, several TBIs, blast-wave injuries, and PTSD.

This Veterans Day, the CrossFit community is coming together in support of this important cause. We invite you to join GORUCK and The Step Up Foundation in the ‘CHAD1000x’ on Nov. 11, 2023, when the workout will be posted for the first time as an official Hero workout on CrossFit.com for Veterans Day.

At FitHAUS we will be performing Partner Chad. The workout consists of 1,000 step-ups with a weighted rucksack. Chad created the workout to train for the rigors of a near 23,000-foot summit in Argentina. If you’d like to register for the CHAD1000X fundraiser in addition to performing the hero WOD with us at FitHAUS, please follow the link below.

All proceeds of the CHAD 1000X fundraiser will go to support Veteran Mental Health Initiatives.
