This page was created by friend & former SoulCycle co-workers, Mat, Steph, and Bella, to support Kelsey’s fight against Stage 4 Lung Cancer.

Meet Kelsey Dellino -

She’s a wife, a mother to four boys, an amazing friend and mentor, and a previous group fitness instructor and studio manager. She’s giving, loving, and throws all her energy and her whole heart into our beloved community, while still making time for her friends and family. She consistently supports the people she cares most deeply for.

Now, more than ever, we want to show our appreciation for her and all that she does, and give back to her.

Some backstory -

What she thought was just intense back and hip pain ended up being - Metastatic Stage 4 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) with the EGFR mutation. At time of diagnosis - July 1st 2024 - the disease had already spread to her liver, lymph nodes, spine, pelvis and hips, resulting in the pain that she’s been feeling in her lower back. Kelsey has never smoked. Turns out, anyone with lungs can get lung cancer.

She was immediately admitted to the hospital with a collapsing spine - her L5 vertebrae had decreased in height by 50% from being consumed by the cancer.

Since then, Kelsey’s life has been doctor appointments, calls with insurance, radiation treatment, taking lots of medication, MRIs and CT scans - all while trying to make life feel normal for her kids.

If you have made it this far - THANK YOU! 

Kelsey has kept us in the loop on her courageous journey with updates below. Feel free to go back to her first entry on July 30, 2024 to understand her whole story, or jump right in with the most recent news! Either way, we just appreciate that you’re here.

From our Soul Family to yours, we are kindly asking for your donation to help one of the greatest human beings of all time. She has given us the whole world, and it’s our turn to give it right back. Your donation will help support Kelsey’s family with the financial burden of medical costs and treatment, as well as provide comfort for her family in the long run as she is focusing on her health vs. work at this time.

Thank you for taking the time to read and consider donating.

Sincerely,

Mat Koelsch, Steph Propper, Bella Gelfuso, and the SoulCycle BLVU team.
