KEEP PEDDALING!
In the crucible of adversity, Westley’s story unfolds as a testament to the indomitable human spirit. Raised amidst the chaos of violence, addiction, and despair, his early years were marked by a harrowing journey through the shadows of society’s darkest corners. Witnessing his mother’s arrest for running a prostitution ring at the tender age of 12 plunged him into a vortex of self-doubt and anguish, a maelstrom that ultimately led him down the treacherous path of addiction by the age of 13.
Yet, amidst the tumult of his upbringing, Westley’s resilience burned brightly. Despite the suffocating grip of addiction and the relentless onslaught of life’s cruel blows, he refused to succumb to despair. Even when faced with the heart-wrenching sight of his sister’s near-fatal heroin overdose at just 15, Westley’s spirit remained unbroken, a flickering flame of hope amidst the darkness.
His journey took him to the bustling streets of Philadelphia, where he found himself adrift in a sea of hopelessness and despair. Reduced to a mere shell of his former self, he wandered the streets, a ghost haunting the alleys of North Philadelphia. But even in the depths of his despair, a spark of determination smoldered within him, a whisper of defiance against the cruel hand fate had dealt him.
It was during these darkest of days that Westley found solace in the rhythm of his bicycle wheels. For eight long years, he pedaled through the streets of Philadelphia, each revolution of the pedals a defiant declaration of his refusal to be defined by his circumstances. And as he rode, he began to rebuild himself, one revolution at a time.
