Getting to Know Kelly Young

Read the Q and A

My team and I have been competing in the professional rock crawling series called WeRock since 2005. We travel the mid-west and east coast attending rock crawling competitions and Jeep Shows. I am the only female driver in the stock modified class and the Jeep is bright green, both factors into the attention we draw at these events.

In June of 2008, I lost my mother to a brief battle with colon and liver cancer. My mom was one of my biggest fans and a big fan to the world of rock crawling and motorsports. I have been thinking of ways to hold an off road event or something in my mom´s memory, when the idea was presented to me to paint my competition jeep pink and raise money for cancer research. And thus, Crawl to Cure Cancer was born.

We will be traveling all over the USA on several different Jeep related trips and shows to raise money for cancer research. At the end of 2009, we will turn all of our donations into the American Cancer Society. Please visit www.CrawlToCureCancer.com for more info and support.
