Hard-living Stuart Morrison thought he might have diabetes, and he actually used to joke about it. But his life took a serious turn when he started showing symptoms of the disease, and Morrison knew he needed to break the endless cycle of partying he had fallen into. He wasn’t sure how until he found ULT CrossFit in Ayrshire, U.K.

This event is being organized by friends of OVC Robert and Kayla Kramer who recently had their 2 year old daughter Presley diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.
Millions of people around the world live with type 1 diabetes (T1D), a life-threatening autoimmune disease that strikes both children and adults. There is no way to prevent it, and at present, no cure. JDRF works every day to change this by amassing grassroots support, deep scientific knowledge and strong industry and academic partnerships to fund research.
We will be accepting donations with all proceeds going directly to JDRF to fund research for Type 1 Diabetes. We hope you can make it to help support #teampresleybear!
At OV CrossFit we realize everyone has a unique starting place - you may be a "new mover" or a seasoned athlete. Our upfront assessment helps guide people to the best program for their goals and abilities.
