Everyday Warrior was founded in 2014 by avid CrossFit athlete, wife, daughter and mother Brittany Gill. After being diagnosed with a rare form of cervical cancer at age 29, Brittany experienced the power of Community as her CrossFit family immediately rallied around her in support through fundraising efforts. With the support of her Community she continued to endure aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatments with a smile.
In the midst of her own inspirational fight, Brittany was inspired by the support she received from her CrossFit Community. She and her husband Matthew, launched Everyday Warrior as a way to honor, celebrate and support Everyday Warriors battling cancer.
Brittany’s legacy and passion for this mission lives on through Everyday Warrior. As an official 501(c)(3) organization, Everyday Warrior has provided financial support to more than 58 CrossFit athletes battling Cancer.
One of Brittany’s legacy has been the online Battle Series were CrossFit communities across the country come together to honor their own Warriors. The Battle Series was created to rally the Community through competition and the money raised from participation fees, donations, and merchandise sales is put toward gifting nominated Warriors with financial support.
As the impact of Everyday Warrior continues to grow the mission remains the same to support CrossFit Athletes with cancer, insuring that no one fights alone. Each Warrior is a fighter, just like Brittany, and it’s their stories of inspiration that continue to drive this mission forward.
