Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii presents Sharon's RIDE.RUN.WALK Event!

"You're immature if you can't accept reality or responsibility."
-Arnold Glasow


Above: The first event CrossFit 808 ever participated in as an official group! This was an amazing event with beautiful routes for both the runs and biking. This year, I am so happy to invite all of our athletes to participate in it with me! You are not only getting a great WOD, but also supporting a good cause. Let's get 100% participation from 808!

Today's WOD:
"Tabata This!"
Tabata Row (in calories)
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Squat
Rest 1 minute
Tabata Pull-up

Sharon's 10th Ride, Run, or Walk Event presented by the Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii!


This event means so much to me, not only because it is for a great cause, but also because this event truly marked the beginning of CrossFit 808. It was the first event we did as a group. We even printed up the "vintage" CrossFit 808 shirt on yes, Hanes Beefy Tees, not the American Apparel ones you guys all rock! Nonetheless, the event was so much fun and the 10K Run was a beautiful route that started on the bottom of Diamondhead and goes down Kahala Avenue, then back towards KCC. 

This year, I would like to get as many 808ers involved in any of the events they are having: 5K run, 10K run, and the Bike routes (35K, 75K, 100K). More details about the routes can be found on the Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii website. This is important: when you register (and you can register online by clicking here), please put down that you are on TEAM CrossFit 808! It doesn't matter what event you are doing, you can still be apart of the team. I hope you all really consider doing this. It is very important to me and our very own Rome Stein, as her husband is not only one of the top Epilepsy Specialists in the country, but also the event director. Below is more details about the event.

On SUNDAY January 29, 2012 the Epilepsy Foundation of Hawaii will be hosting the 10th annual Sharon's Ride for Epilepsy.  Sharon's Ride is a unique memorial to Sharon Rosenfeld, a nurse and teacher who cared deeply about epilepsy and epilepsy patients who was killed during a cross country bicycle ride in 1993.  Sharon's Ride Run Walk for Epilepsy was started in 1996 in St. Louis, Missouri by Dr. William Rosenfeld and Dr. Susan Lippmann, neurologists who specialize in epilepsy and who created the event to honor the memory of Dr. Rosenfeld's sister.  Sharon's Ride takes place at 7 sites across the country and we are honored that Dr. Rosenfeld and his family will be in Honolulu for our event!

  1. My daughter is 5 years old and has been healthy, and has been developing at a normal rate. I heard a loud thud. I found my daughter on the floor. There was vomit on the bed and my daughter was on the floor. It lasted 15 minutes. It was so scary. she was jerking very violently, and his eyes were rolling in the back of his head. It was horrible. No one should have to see their child like that, my doctor is saying she's had seizures. she had an mri ,an EEG,they did a spinal tap. After returning from the hospital, my daughter experienced vomiting, I could not bear to see my daughter going through this problem at the early age of her life. I read a lot of fake testimonies at blogs, Facebook and website of people that was cured from seizure with the help of a herbal doctor I have even been scammed severally, I explain to my friend about my daughter symptom and she told me that i shouldn't worry, she gave me a contact of a doctor. I met Lawson Bryan in Chicago and i contact him. I Explain about my daughter symptom, I made an order of his medicine.. I followed his instruction, His medicine has change my daughter health in less than 3 month she is totally free from seizures and vomiting, my daughter is cured from seizure. you can contact him +1 (979) 475-5130 or e-mail: dr.lawson52@gmail.com thank you.
