F3 PAX:
As you have probably seen, F3 SPEED FOR NEED was launched earlier this summer by JRR Tolkien (F3 SOB) and Nash (F3 Metro) and has already had a tremendous response from the pax.
The MISSION of SPEED FOR NEED is to empower children with disabilities through participation in fitness events.
We do this by mobilizing High Impact Men (HIM) in F3Nation in responsibly pushing these children in specialized racing chairs to create an experience impossible by themselves due to their limitations. In doing so, SPEED FOR NEED exists for the enjoyment of the athlete-rider and their loved ones, to raise awareness and financial support for local charities and partners, and to increase the visibility of F3Nation in our communities for the purpose of invigorating all men, and sparking a call to action.
Never heard of SPEEDFORNEED? Watch this cool Youtube Video “The Making of SPEEDFORNEED” which shows in ~4min what and why F3 Nation is doing this charitable initiative. Want more information?

We’re still raising money for a few more racing chairs, so please donate, every little bit counts!
It is time to bring F3 SPEED FOR NEED to F3 Lake Norman! We will have the inaugural race in LKN at the Run for Your Life Novant Health 15K/5K on Sunday, October 1st. We are calling on the F3 LKN pax to to be there that morning to run, push, cheer, and hang out at the F3 tent. Most importantly, we need a couple heroic F3ers to push the official SPEEDFORNEED race chairs in this race. We’re open to anyone who wants to push, but we do want to give priority to a PAX who may have a close friend or family member that can serve as the rider. If anyone fits this description and you and your loved one want to participate, please hit me up on twitter (@DonHo_F3) or slack. Details regarding the event and sign up are below. I am expecting that we will push the racing chairs in the 5K event but that will be based upon the needs and wishes of the riders. I have created an "F3 Nation" team for sign up purposes with RFYL.
