Our Own Stickboy's Adventure for CCFA- PLEASE READ!

FahkaFahka Posts: 3,187
edited October 2008 in The Porch
As some of you may already know, a regular at the pit (stickboy) Has embarked on quite the adventure. He will be riding his bike from Queens, NYC to San Diego California. He is riding for the CCFA and i am urging anyone who can afford it to donate to crohn's and colitis victims and make it worth Eli's while:)
He has already come a long way! He passed through and left Philadelphia and southwest bound tonight. Yes, he really is riding a bike from NYC to San Diego with not much more than food money and a sleeping bag. Please share this link with family and friends.


You can donate securely and easily here:

EDIT: Keep up with eli's progress on his blog! :)

    My uncle used to that... and he was from NJ too. He would just show up at our door with just his bike and whatever he could carry. I don't think he was doing for any charity though... he was just nuts.:D
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    Yup! He just left my house in Wilmington at the crack of 3 o'clock this afternoon and is in the hills of Maryland right now!
    He stayed for a couple of days and refined his gear, and now he's off!

    Cheers to you, Eli and safe travels to you!

    I left him with a parting gift of my favorite bowling ball for the bike trip, too! :D

    He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion.

    Haha,,, well, if he did, I bet I would have seen it rolling down the hill in front of my house soon enough :D

    I was joking that I was gonna load him up with firewood, too.

    It was great to finally have him stay and meet him, and pretty amazing and weird feeling to walk up the hill with him this afternoon and see him ride off across the country!

    Ride on Eli! Thanks for giving and living to raise money for others!

    youre quite the badass yourself babe, without a doubt. Thank you all for having my back and helping me doing something good for people in need. I also encourage and recommend people to do stuff like this more often(maybe not to my extent, lol :p)for anything you feel strongly about.

    Lovely Eli.. I don't come much on this board at the moment, but I couldn't let this thread pass me by without wishing you happy trails and be safe!

    Wish my home was on your path but... maybe when you do the same kind of thing but rowing across the ocean to the UK!

    Take care

    I sat next to this guy for Boston 2 08. What a standup guy and he is the one guy that you want to sit next to at a show. His energy level is second to none. I am sending in a donation tonight and Keep on riding.

    Good luck with this!!! My ass is sore just thinking about it!

    I must have been right next to you because I sat (or should I say stood) next to Eli for the Mansfield II show this summer. We rocked out hard!!! I saw him a few nights later at the Beacon. Real good guy.

    Best of luck Eli....stay safe and good luck!!!
