Spotlight: Elias K.

Elias Kass is one of our long-time FCF athletes, a naturopathic doctor and a licensed midwife that does CrossFit! In a few weeks, he's heading to Vila Central Hospital in Port Vila, Vanuatu, to volunteer as a midwife in the maternity ward. Vanuatu is an independent nation (after being a French/British colony) in the South Pacific near Fiji. He's planning to deliver babies and teach midwifery and nursing students while he's there.

the good doctor

The midwives at VCH have specifically requested certain birth-related supplies, plus a special Seattle care package -- Starbucks Via packets! He would like to oblige in a big way. If you'd like to donate a few bucks to the effort, check out http://www.youcaring.com/mission-trip-fundraiser/supplies-caffeine-for-vch-moms-midwives-respectively/65857.

Let's help Elias make a difference! We are so proud to have him as a part of our community, and very proud of what he does!
