Canadian Frank Morris was the Clan’s assistant coach from our inaugural season in 2010/11 all the way up to the 2013/14 season.
Frank and his wife Michelle are fondly remembered here at the Clan and very much part of the Clan family.
Frank was also one of the top players during the Heineken & BNL eras between 1987 and 2004, playing for the Ayr Bruins, Murrayfield Racers and Fife Flyers.
On September 18th, 2016, Michelle Morris was diagnosed with stage 3 gastric cancer. The doctors told her there was slim hope and gave her two years to live.
Chemotherapy and multiple surgeries would be needed. So they went ahead and through many appointments and a surgery that removed 3/4 of her stomach and part of her colon, she beat all odds and was cancer free in July of this year.
On October 30th, 2017, Michelle found out the cancer was back and had spread into her colon. The cancer is very aggressive, and Michelle could not undergo more chemotherapy because her bilirubin enzyme count was too high and there was a blockage.
The days since, Michelle has been in and out of the hospital trying to find a way to find a cure. On Sunday November 19th, Michelle was told she has six months to a year and a half to live. On November 25th, after more evaluation of trying to find a cure, the doctors broke news that Michelle had only days to live.
The doctors found one more procedure that could help, but the cancer is very aggressive and there’s a chance she could go into a coma. Her family is currently waiting on her to go into her operations.
Michelle has two daughters, Chloe and Aimee Headland plus a son, Matthew Headland, who plays hockey for the Charlotte Rush in Charlotte North Carolina. On behalf of their family, we are kindly asking if you can donate towards Michelle’s medical bills and expenses HERE.
The Clan have already made a donation. Our thoughts are with Michelle, Frank and their whole family.
