To our CrossFit Family

With the Northcott’s permission, we wanted to share the following message with you.

To our CrossFit Family, 

Most know Ella for her quiet demeanour and infectious smile.  When you get to know her she will surprise you with a spark of wit, a heart of pure joy and a desire to discover every corner of the earth.  When I look at her, I see the most beautiful soul and warrior.   Ella has been fighting a Neuromuscular Disease (in the ALS family) that has slowly striped her of her physical strength.  No matter how hard it tried to take her spirit she would take the fight and rise above it.

Last week Ella was hospitalized after catching a cold.  Her hospitalization revealed just how much this disease has taken from her physically. 

Although she won the battle over the cold and we were optimistic she would make a full recovery.  We are devastated to share she’s losing the war.  Ella has been fighting respiratory failure for longer than we thought and her body can’t keep up with her will.

The Team here at McMaster Children’s Hospital have been amazing. Not only providing care to Ella but Quinn, Gina and myself while we navigate these terrible times.  Our goal is to keep Ella as comfortable as possible, to celebrate the short time we have left with her and hopefully fulfill her wish to spend her last few weeks at home.

Clark and Gina 

Clark shared this update with us this morning. It’s not in us to not do something to help, so we’ve reached out to their close friend group, one of which is also part of our CFI family, as well as reached back out to Clark and Gina, to get permission to put something together. When you hear news like this it’s only natural to want to help in anyway you can. We know many of you will feel the same way we do, so we want to do something, and give everyone a way to also show support for Clark, Gina, Quinn and Ella right now, but we also want to be very respectful of their wishes as well. Please stay tuned, and please keep the Northcott family close to your hearts.
