Funds for the wife of Oleksandr Pielieshenko

Hello everyone, my name is Keenan Beaumont. This fundraiser is to aid the wife of Oleksandr Pielieshenko. We found out about his death during Orthodox Easter. A major holiday in Ukraine. Oleksandr was a phenomenal weightlifter. A two time European champion and Olympian in the 85kg category. He died defending his home nation of Ukraine.

I was always a big fan of his weightlifting career, so I was incredibly saddened to hear of his passing. Oleksandr was the same age as me. I can not imagine how my family would feel if I died serving my country.

I will be doing the CrossFit “Murph” workout on the May 24 long weekend in memory of Oleksandr. The workout consists of a 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, and another 1 mile run. All while wearing a 20lb vest.

I will not be wearing the vest BUT I will be doing all of the pull ups and push up with STRICT FORM (military style ).

If you would like to watch me suffer, I will be at CrossFit Connection, in Burlington Ontario on Sunday May 26 at 12pm to do the workout. I will be dressed in blue and yellow in support of Ukraine.

All of the fundraising proceeds will go DIRECTLY to his wife Diana.

please help if you can. Thank you.
