He is my sorority sister's husband. The latest information is that he suffered 2 cardiac arrest and has no brain activity. He was airlifted to UAB in Birmingham last night.

From an email I received this morning:

Ellis was in great shape. He ran in marathons all over the southeast and has won some of them. He finished in the TOP 100 of the Boston Marathon last year.

None of the projections are good. However, they are all praying for a small miracle because there are cases of people turning around. I?m spreading the word to please say a prayer for him because that?s all they?ve got so I hope you don?t mind getting this email.



I have sent your email to people that I know from Point Washington United Methodist Church, Good News Methodist Church, Chapel at the Beach at Rosemary, Crosspoint Church, Destiny Church, Christian International and St Rita's Catholic Church. If anyone attends another Church or has friends at other Churches, please forward this info to their prayer groups as well.

Much thanks to you.

I came across this thread while searching the web for news articles about my friend, Ellis. I work with Ellis in Birmingham. He is 30, a loving husband and parent, a hard worker and generally a really great guy.

The poster before was correct that Ellis was an experienced runner. I know that he has competed in the Boston twice and recently placed 6th in the Mercedes marathon here in Birmingham. He ran the Seaside half marathon last year also I believe. I know that he was looking forward to this as a fun trip.

The poster was also correct that the outlook is not good and his family and all of his friends at work are praying for him. This is a real tragedy. I'm sure his family will appreciate the prayers of you all.

My best friend spent most of the day at the hospital with Ellis' wife. Things do not look good, but please keep his family in your thoughts.

I just discovered this morning that a co-worker of mine is a patient of Ellis' father. He is a very well loved, and caring doctor in a town right down the road from me. I will continue to keep this family in my prayers and hope above all that his family will have peace and comfort during this difficult time.
