Background In 2015, Elliot had the opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to partner with his hero, the late Justin Wilson, and later Scott Dixon and Stefan Wilson on the “Dyslexia Doesn’t Stop Me” campaign. To carry on the legacy of Justin Wilson and the work Wilson did as an ambassador for dyslexia and the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana, Elliot founded Driving for Dyslexia in 2018. At Elliot’s first Driving for Dyslexia event he helped to raise over $18,000 for Children with Dyslexia that was donated to the Dyslexia Institute of Indiana. In 2019, at Elliot's second Event, he added an additional $34,400 to the total! Since Driving for Dyslexia started Elliot has helped to raise over $150,000 for children with Dyslexia!
