Kick-Off Event
A perfect send off for John Ellis and his friend Jamaal Warren, as they begin their cycling journey from Pensacola to Philadelphia. With media coverage, the Tate High School Pep Band, and a police escort to the county line, John and Jamaal are on their way! Our celebrity host, Tessa Savoy from NBC 15, was quoted as saying, “John, we would like to commend you for your effort to reach out and turn your medical diagnosis into a message of HOPE for all those who have been affected by hepatitis B. Jamaal, we would like to commend you for your loyal friendship to John and for the courage to embark on this journey with him.”
A personal message from John
“I would like to thank all of my family and friends who have been involved in making this day happen. Their encouragement will give me the strength I need to reach Philadelphia!.”
