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!

damn! brings a tear to my eye that he's doing this. I'll donate what I can when I can!

Ride on, Eli!!! miss you!!

it's an honor to do this for people like you and people like Drowned Under's family (guys a really good friend of mine too so I would do it in a heartbeat)

I love you too, stickbitch (how did you screw up my username twice in one thread? )

Make sure you keep us updated on your whereabouts so that people can help you out with food/supplies along the way (wish I was on your route, you know I'd be hookin you up! )...with the generosity and reach of this crowd, we should have you covered coast to coast.....

Is there a paypal account for Eli that we can add funds to in case he has an emergency or needs food?

I think this is great and amazing, I briefly met Eli in Mansfield this year but I know him through chiqui and vedhead27 and all I ever hear is good things.

stay strong eli!

and many more...I'm not the 1st, not the only and most likely won't be the last besides who ever said my mind was right?, lmao..well Im gonna start videotaping soon cause I got a new digi thanx ourtesy of who'spearljam bob and still learning to work it, but pics are up on the myspace page and more to come as well as blogs and stuff

see you in Mexico J...just make sure we get outta there alive

hey Ana I remember Boston 2 08..that was crazy in the end to run into each other...but nah babe no paypal account but I know my cousin has one maybe whatever he can hook it up. we'll see. Mostly only thing I worry about is making sure I eat constantly...don't need to be any more of a stick figure than I already am,...not to mention the workouts are about to start so As far as funds go, don't even worry about that..if I start to run low on cash I'll be sure to reach out to someone. And as long as the rain stops interfering with my budget I should be ok


Allie, AC and VV I mean Dorie...thank ya ladies

Way to go Eli - what an awesome person you are to care about others lives & risking your life in the process - those roads can be hell, so please be careful!!!! There's not many people out there like you - & I truly believe you will be greatly rewarded along your way.

If you happen to come through North Carolina (I know it's a shot in the dark), but if you do, hit me up - you've got a place to stay at my house - plus a good, home-cooked southern meal to fatten you up for your loooong ride There's nothing better for a long ride like good ole' southern hospitality!!

Good luck on your long journey & stay safe!!! Keep up the great work!!!

Take care Eli!!! I'll be following this thread to track your progress!!!

Great job......let me know if you need some sort of restaurant gift card that I can send via email. I know you are riding for charity, but its important that you have the resources to sustain yourself as well!

hey I tell you what..people that know me on here and Ive met thru the yrs know that I never ask for anything, wether it be because I'm shy or just want to make it on my own, but I AM on a budget and if people wanna help me out foodwise and drinkwise I wont turn it down, cause youre right I gotta keep my weight on and energized. I been doing good so far and I want to start finding camps so I can start cooking my own meals and saving even more money. But hey every little bit helps and it speaks volumes about all of you...I know the CCFA people and people who suffer from this will def be proud of you all.
Thanks JOE

DROWNED OUT, DROWNED OUT DROWNED OUT...there I will never forget it now....I still prefer the other name u used to have....much easier to remember

SHOOT down to miami for a night on south beach then back up & accross.
just kidding i'd do do something like that for a fundraiser like

LIFE ROLLS ON was started by jesse billauer paralized surfing (HEY ED AD THIS TO THE CAUSE)

http://www.liferollson.org/site/pp.asp?c=egLLKTNJE&b=79268

but my wheelchair only will go 8 mph & 10 miles on a charge

shit I spent almost the last 4 yrs down in South beach! It'll be tought to get me ack there...much as I loved the place it really got to me in the end with how 2 faced and fake people can be and the hurricanes not to mention...it was the girls that kept me down there as long as it did! lol

and hey my bike doesnt go too much faster than your wheelchair bro, esp up hill Well hope next time Im in south beach we'll get to hang for a bit eyecanwalk...cool website too, and despite the wheelchair and all I'm sure you can still do something for a charity. There are no limitations to what we can do even f they take our arms, legs, voice, sight anything away...we can still do great things so keep your head up and keep on wheeling just like me man. Its all good bro

like I said before whatever you guys wanna help me with I def appreciate but just make sure you take care of the people that need it more...I'd rather the funds go to the charity and if you wanna send me gift cards and stuff like that for food or whatever else, then thats cool too...I'm ok with money for now

I'm gonna talk with my acting secretary miss leathermandi and if she's down you guys can send her the suff, cause she's waiting on a packet of pamphlets and brochures, tee shirts, etc from the CCFA for the ride so she can accumulate everything and if I make it there then I can scoop it up..if not then she'll prolly send it to a PO Box or another friends house down the line

you guys rock, it cant be said enough!

thanx cropdustress and jams...love to ya both

btw
just got to DC a lil while ago...did the whole tourist thing for a bit and tomorrow bright and early Im making photocopies of the webpage, and the myspace link and getting it out there

If it makes it easier to accept, then consider my contribution as an upkeep expense that will allow you to meet your goal and get the most money possible for the CCFA.

I can email you some sort of giftcard so you can use it immediately.

PineappleAna

what restaurants are you most seeing Eli?

I'd like to send you a gift card or one of those visa gift cards you can use anywhere.

loveboat captain

That's true, you won't have a problem with gaining weight or anything. Just want to make sure you have the "intestinal fortitude" to handle a constant fast food diet...lol
