Joey Luthman, along with Dr. Elsey's very own Purrfessor Cat, will embark on an ambitious one-wheel ride, ?Joey?s Ride for Cats,? traveling over 4000 miles across America to raise awareness for Chronic Kidney Disease and Feline Cancer Research.  

The issue of feline health became a very personal issue for Joey after losing his beloved 15-year-old feline friend, Winter, to CKD in 2023. Shortly thereafter, he experienced another loss when a close friend?s cat, 15-year-old Momo, passed from cancer. These deaths inspired the actor to take action so other pet owners would not experience this type of heartbreak. 

Beginning on October 1st, Joey will travel from the Santa Monica Pier in California to the Marshall Point Lighthouse in Maine on a one-wheel, a self-balancing electric skateboard with a single wheel in the center. Joey will begin the 45-day cross-country trip to raise funds for EveryCat Health Foundation.
