I'm Riding For

Elliot Kelley

Elliot is in a fight with leukemia and he has the spirit to beat it. He is one tough cookie. His joyous spirit and positive disposition have never diminished, despite his many health issues. Elliot was born with Down Syndrome, during the world’s Covid pandemic. Unfortunately, he contracted Covid when he was a couple months old and was hospitalized for several weeks. He has had issues with his kidneys, stemming from Megaureter. He required surgery to fix that issue. He has had Speech, Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and even Music therapy. Some of these services since he was just several months old. When old enough to walk, he required a walker to support himself. This is typical with kids who have Down syndrome. They struggle to walk because of weaker muscles. As he got stronger, he transitioned from the walker to wearing leg braces. Elliot was hospitalized for pneumonia and para flu. It was while being treated for pneumonia, that he was diagnosed with leukemia. The kid can't catch a break.

My Story

13 Jan 2026

I am participating in my 12th Great Cycle Challenge. The purpose of this event is to raise funds for pediatric cancer research. I have to admit that as I age (I am 75 years young) the pedaling is getting a bit harder each year. Yet, I am fortunate to be able to still ride. There are many kids that will never have the opportunity to reach my age, or even have the chance to ride a bike, as cancer will end their life much too early.

While there has been tremendous progress in fighting pediatric cancer, it is still impacting the health and lives of too many kids.

So I am once again raising funds for the Children's Cancer Research Fund to help find a cure . The money you donate will allow them to continue their work in funding lifesaving research. Every dollar will bring us one step closer to helping another child beat this disease.

Your support does, and will, change little lives for the better. Thank You!

A word about my goals. My riding goal is 750 miles, 10 miles for each of my orbits around the sun. If I reach that goal, I will have ridden 13,800 miles during the Great Cycle Challenges I have participated in. More importantly, if I can reach my fundraising goal, I will have raised $200,000 to beat kids' cancer. A HUGE thanks to everyone who has donated in the past, to those that will donate again this year, and to those who will be donating for the first time this year.

With sincere gratitude,

Mike

P.S. Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy often have a critical need blood and/or platelet transfusions. I now give platelets every two or three weeks. Platelets only have a five day shelf life resulting in a constant demand. Please give if you can.
