Friends of the Elsberg family are hosting a bike ride and silent auction at RMU on October 7 to raise funds for Aven’s future needs. Any contribution, big or small, will make a significant impact on the success of our fundraiser.
Aven Elsberg is an 18-year-old talented mountain biker, freeride skier, and all-around great kid who unfortunately suffered a severe spinal cord injury at the C5 level on August 3 riding his home trails in Whistler, BC.
He is facing a long recovery and inpatient then outpatient rehab process with significant equipment and caregiver needs as he eventually transitions from the inpatient to outpatient setting.

The spinal cord unit at Vancouver General Hospital has encouraged us to fundraise for Aven’s needs and future independence despite our family’s relatively fortunate financial situation. We appreciate any support for his future needs but if you are uncomfortable with that please consider donating to Whistler SAR (who extricated Aven along with Whistler Bike Park Patrol), spinal cord injury research, or your local adaptive program.
We have set up a Caring Bridge site to keep our friends, family and others supporting Aven updated on his recovery here. Please Do not donate on the Caring Bridge site.
