Kallel Fox Car Accident
Well known for his kind heart, infectious energy, and love for mountain biking, Kallel’s passing has left a profound void—not only within his team but throughout the broader Alabama Cycling Association (ACAmtb) community.
In the wake of this tragedy, The Shred For Sloan Foundation announced it will be donating a portion of proceeds from their recent event, The Assault on Sunset Hill, to Kallel’s family via the official GoFundMe campaign linked below.
Founded in memory of young cyclist Sloan Tinney, The Shred For Sloan Foundation supports youth mountain biking by promoting safety, inclusion, and mental wellness. In an emotional statement this week, the organization extended heartfelt condolences to the Fox family and reaffirmed its mission to uplift young athletes and their families during times of loss.
“With the sad news of Kallel Fox passing from the Grissom Tigers Mountain Bike Team, The Shred For Sloan will be donating their portion of the funds raised from The Assault on Sunset Hill to the GoFundMe linked below,” the organization shared.
“If you would like to donate, please do—to help this family during an incredibly difficult time. We love our ACAmtb students, parents, and teams. They are our family.”
Kallel wasn’t just a rider—he was a spirited member of the Grissom Tigers team whose presence brought light and encouragement to everyone around him. Teammates and coaches remember his radiant smile, quiet determination, and willingness to cheer on others no matter where he stood in the race. He truly embodied the values of the ACAmtb: perseverance, teamwork, sportsmanship, and joy in the journey.
The Shred For Sloan’s decision to honor Kallel’s memory with their donation reflects the strong sense of unity and compassion that defines the youth mountain biking world. Events like The Assault on Sunset Hill not only bring riders together through sport but also provide a platform to support each other in the face of tragedy.
As the mountain biking and local communities grieve, messages of love and remembrance have flooded in for Kallel and his family. Teams across the ACAmtb league have offered condolences, pledged to ride in Kallel’s memory, and even plan to wear orange or add tribute stickers to their gear at future races.
The official GoFundMe campaign serves as a way for friends, families, and supporters to assist Kallel’s family with expenses during this unimaginable time. Every contribution, big or small, is a show of love, support, and unity.
Kallel’s memory lives on in every ride, every cheer from the sidelines, and every young cyclist inspired by his spirit. His legacy will continue to uplift the Alabama biking community and beyond.
