Cloudbuster Tough March 3-4. Got about 8 SoDu PAX rostered with more expressing interest. You really won't regret it. Train with your brothers, get stronger, build camaraderie, and show our F3 brother Timber, his family, and the entire community our support for this great cause, a new pediatric rehab clinic at UNC for children who experience serious physical trauma. Let's get after it fellas.
