Blindness Awareness Month - Monday, October 24th, 2022

Blindness Awareness Month

October is blindness awareness month, and both the CrossFit and the WheelWOD community have an athlete that is being celebrated this month.

For our newer athletes who might not know, WheelWOD is an organization that was founded by CrossFit Indestri Co-Owner and Coach, Stouty. It’s an organization that specializes in helping to create awareness, programming, competitions, etc. for the adaptive athlete community within CrossFit around the world.

Pre-2020 days the WheelWOD Games were also held here, alongside the UG events when we use to be involved with UG Series.

Kym Dekeyrel is the CrossFitter who we referred to above. Kym is a blind CrossFit athlete, doing incredible things. She competed at CFI in 2019 in the WheelWOD Games division of the UG Games.

The workout today was created by Kym to bring awareness to blindness, for blindness awareness month.

Athletes are encouraged to, safely, experience what it’s like for Kym to do this workout. If you feel comfortable, close your eyes during the movement to have an idea of how it feels for Kym.

As mentioned Kym is being celebrated in our community this month, here are a few pieces of media to check out more on Kym’s story.
