Who are we helping?

The Capps family has been a part of our little 540 family almost from the beginning.  And since we do look at each other as family, we want to do anything we can to help each other out.  When this opportunity to help a cause came to us, it seemed only natural to do everything we could to fill a need so close to home.

All of the proceeds from the raffle (chance to wod with Rich and win signed gear) will go to the Capps family and a portion of the general admission will go to help them out as well.


Hello, my name is Sophie Anne Capps, I am 2 years old. I am one of millions of children who have been diagnosed with childhood Asthma.  The severe asthma attacks have weakened my lungs to the point that I now have acute pneumonia. I get really scared when I can’t breathe. My illness has caused me to have to be in and out of the hospital several times in the last year. I have to go to the doctor all the time and take lots and lots of medicine. I will be undergoing more tests over the next few months with the Acute Disease Immunology Specialist at Children’s Hospital. As you probably know, all these doctor visits, blood tests, hospital stays, medicine, and missed work for my mom and dad costs a lot of money.  My family appreciates your help, but most of all, please pray for me and all the other children that suffer from Asthma. It is very scary when you can’t breathe.
