THE TRUE WHY – EXLAX’S STORY:

On 10/22/23, F3 lost a friend, brother and HIM, Ex-LAX (aka Jared Cacciola).  Like most of us, Ex wanted to get in better shape and live a healthier life for his family and himself.  Ex was fully committed to all aspects of F3.

• Fitness – He was committed to his journey and lifted up others effortlessly as we witnessed his determination in action.  Some of us remember his first work out where the man could hardly run 100 yards.  Three years later,  Ex had moved up in the pack, and actually held a 7:30 pace mile at one time.  His fitness journey was incredibly inspiring.

• Fellowship – This part was an easy one for EX.  He always had a smile on his face and made many friends inside F3 quickly.  His drive to help others was relentless as he was always willing to help anyone in any way.  You didn’t have to ask, he offered. I spoke to Chastain while I was writing this and he described him a big, teddy bear, and that is exactly who he was.

• Faith – Ex re-committed himself to his faith and truly embodied Proverbs 27:17, “As iron sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another He was always willing to be there for a brother, no matter what the challenge. Whether it be fitness or personal challenge you were going through in life, he made it clear that he would be there for you, a true brother. 

In his passing, EX left behind a wife and 3 young children. Whether you knew EX or not, this CSAUP is a way to honor EX by joining other brothers to do something he grew to love (run) as well as raising funds to help support his wife and be a constant reminder that F3 is much more than a workout – it is a brotherhood of HIMs, working to make an impact beyond simple fitness.  EX embodies this, now you can join in too.
