This week thousands of people from across the Northwest honored and remembered fallen Pierce County Deputy Daniel McCartney, and this weekend the tributes will continue.
On Saturday, January 20 from 8 a.m. – 12 p.m. CrossFit gyms across the Northwest are doing a special workout in remembrance of McCartney.
The idea started at Daniel’s gym in Yelm where he was a coach, but it has since expanded to nearly 120 CrossFit locations across the Northwest. Call your local CrossFit to see if they are participating.
At the Yelm location, they will also have a silent auction and a barbecue. If you are unable to participate, you can still donate on the YouCaring page set up for the McCartney family. The money raised will directly benefit McCartney’s wife and three boys.
