The 1013 in CrossFit 1013 is our daughter Jessica's birthday who passed away a little over 4 years ago. She was born October 13th, 1991. We are having our grand opening on what would have been her 21st birthday.
Jessica was in a very bad car accident when she was only a month old. She sustained severe brain damage that caused her to become severely handicapped. She was not supposed to live longer than a month after that accident. Jessica went on to live for 16 years. Our little girl was one of strongest people we've ever known. She went through multiple surgeries and was in pain a lot throughout her life. She lived with discomfort but still showed happiness through her smiles and great laughs. She was tough all the way to the end. Jessica passed February 29th, 2008 at the age of 16.
When we were trying to come up with a name for our CrossFit gym we thought of how Jessica had so many qualities of what a CrossFitter has, including physical strength and mental strength. Naming our gym using her birthday seemed like a perfect fit. Our logo was also created with Jessica in mind, a tough looking angel because that’s what we think she now is.
Please come and join us to celebrate the grand opening of our gym along with Jessica’s 21st birthday. Happy birthday Jessica we love you and thank you for looking over us.
