Ride for a brother to raise funds for our youth

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH TOTAL RAISED DURING THIS EVENT $1,449.00 YOUR FRIEND
DAVID C. KELLEY WOULD BE PROUD TO KNOW HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS ARE HELPING CARRY OUT ELI’S WISHES TO FIND A CURE FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER!!!!
Today 6/30/2012 I headed out to meet people I never met in my life.  How this got started was the Fight For Eli band was on 98 ROCK, and I was in Atlanta for my job.  I called into the show and got through as I told Eli’s story along with the band it touched many hearts.  I was then contacted by Sherry Shifflet, and Mike Valentin with the idea of a ride in memory of a dear friend and brother, David C. Kelley, they had lost in January of this year. (This is what Mike said)….. Some of us knew that we had to take this tragic loss and the unfortunate circumstances surrounding our loss and create a positive by finding a cause that… help the future for so many. ON JUNE 30, 2012, we will be hosting a Motorcycle Ride in the memory of our friend, David Kelley, and donating all proceeds to the ‘Brave Eli, Fighting Adolescent Lukemia and Cancer’ Foundation. BRAVEELI.COM. Please join us in raising money for a noble cause while remembering our friend. Are you interested in funding ? then you can also read about post-settlement funding service as it one of the best methods.
Well off I went at 9:30 am on my way to meet all of these fine people.  At the first location I met David’s mom as tears were hard to hold back we both know what it’s like to lose a son.  Mike talked to everyone, and then I told Eli’s story.  I don’t bELIeve their was a dry eye in the place, but I found it very important that my new friends get an understanding of the HERO Eli’s was.  We rode through Baltimore and Harford County! and I will tell you it was a blast.  My new friends have decided to make this an annual event as they to bELIeve in a cure.  They bELIeve their friend David would want everyone to be a part of something good a part of carrying out Eli’s wishes to find a cure for childhood cancer.

    Thanks so much for your kind words Paul. It was a true honor to be able to put this ride together in memory of two amazing people taken from us entirely too soon. I couldnt be more thankful for the support we received during this event and look forward to continuing our efforts to raise funds for such a great cause. Thanks to everyone.
