Ellen Wemyss Granade, Brunswick County Native and CVS Pharmacist in Sunset Beach, Fought like a Girl, and battled cancer for over 3 years. Ellen found lump in her breast while pregnant with her second son 3 ½ year ago. She underwent surgery and chemo while pregnant! When she gave birth to Eli James, who had a full head of hair, she was bald. Ellen was cancer free for about a year, but the cancer returned. Ellen once again chose to Fight Like a Girl. Unfortunately, Ellen passed away on Novemer 20, 2011. The Granade family needs our support now more than ever.

How Can We Help?

Join CrossFit OIB for a WOD (Workout of the Day) to raise funds the best way we know how- with a kick butt StrongWoman Workout to support the Granade Family during this difficult time & holiday season. 100% of the proceeds go towards medical bills, living expenses for Grant and the boys, etc.

You do not have to be a member of CrossFit OIB to participate! Men, women, and kids too! Join in the workout(s) or as a spectator. The WOD will be easy to scale so individuals of all fitness levels can participate. This is not meant to be a competition, just a chance for our community to come together, participate in a StrongWoman workout in in Ellen’s honor, and to raise money for the many expenses that Grant, Garrett, and Eli are faced with now that Ellen is gone.  The WOD(s) will be announced on November 30th.
