Yesterday I was able bring Kyle Cunningham and Kyle Peters out to the Children's Hospital of Los Angeles to hang out and sign autographs for the kids! For some of you that don't know me, My name is Taylor Kellstrom, I use to race a few years ago but retired from to many injuries and eventually started a few businesses out in Valencia,CA and also doing real estate with my dad Dana. I was once a patient at this hospital and it was amazing to give back yesterday to them by bringing the boys out to brighten up these kid's day. These kids are the true heros, with what they go through everyday. Everyday they battle for their lives just laying in a room. Seeing how excited they were to meet and talk with both Kyle's was the greatest feeling I could say the 3 of us have most likely had. There was a little boy there named Jason,who's spent almost his whole life at CHLA, took his first steps at CHLA, and recently for weeks he would not talk. Yesterday, we had him smiling from ear to ear and saying a few words. The reaction his mother gave us was a feeling none of us will ever forget as there was hope. Both Kyle's are given an amazing talent to do what they do on a motorcycle for living and to see them take the time out to be there yesterday to give back was what this sport is all about. Motocross is a community, everyone knows everyone and it's good to see this kind of thing going on more and more. know a friend of mine and my pops, Steve Bauer does this as well for Loma Linda Children's Hospital. It's great to see riders be the positive role models and hope that young kids need. Kyle, Kyle and myself will be doing more things like this in the future and if anyone is interested in being involved or wants to know whats going on you can follow/message on twitter/instagram @taylorkellstrom , @kylepeters , @_kylecunningham or you can email me at Taylorkellstrom271@hotmail.com I would love to have more people involved and we will be back to visit Jason along with the rest of the other kids there. Thank you to the Children's Hospital of La for being the BEST organization I have ever seen or been apart of.
