Eli and Chris take a flight
My Eli story is one I wanted to tell at Eli’s service but I knew I just could not do so. I read a post about Eli and Paul’s request to help raise money to fight cancer on the XLForum which I have been a member of for years and I was shocked. I had never known any kids that have had this horrible disease. Like many other forum members I promptly made a donation. I began following Eli’s story on the forum and at one point sent a message to Paul offering to take Eli up for a plane ride. I did not receive a response from Paul so every once in a while I would send him a message with my offer as soon as Eli was up to it. I am sure Paul thought I was crazy! As Eli’s health improved and he started selling lemonade as his Alex’s and Eli’s Lemonade stand some other members and I started making the ride down to Oxford to support him and I met Eli for the first time. All I can say is wow, what a great kid. There was just something about him that made you want to be his friend.
