Mark Moss, founder of UPLIFT and a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, joins host Adrian Conway on today’s episode to share his story about bringing awareness to suicide prevention.
Moss lost his grandfather, a retired veteran, to suicide 10 years ago. Every year, he and his family would honor his grandfather’s legacy with a walk. But in 2022, Moss was encouraged by his wife to do something bigger and UPLIFT was born.
Through UPLIFT T-shirt sales and a special workout done nationwide, Moss has continued to pay tribute to his late grandfather, raise awareness of suicide, and connect others who have shared experiences and stories.
Tune in to today’s episode to hear more from Moss about how UPLIFT began, how to get involved with the fundraiser, and how the CrossFit community has embraced Moss and his cause.
The 2023 UPLIFT workout will take place Sept. 2 in affiliates nationwide. If you are an affiliate owner who would like to program the workout at your gym or if you would like to participate, follow Moss on Instagram at @moss_fit_ or visit www.upliftwod.com.
