We were very excited to have
our 3rd Annual MX for Life Ride
for pediatric cancer research in 2007. This marathon motocross
event will be held at The Landing MX
on December 8, 2007 (rain date will be December 15, 2007) to
benefit the Children’s
National Medical Research Center in Washington D.C. This
facility is the fastest growing cancer research facility in the
country.
All proceeds of this event are
donated to the research center. The great thing about the center
is that ninety cents of each dollar goes to true research. That’s
outstanding considering that most organizations average only
about 40 percent. This is also 100% tax deductible ( 501-C-3
) and a great way to support these children, our community, and
our love to help each other.
Your donations and gifts are
what will get the job done. We have put together our guidelines
as far as the event: team criteria, rules, and other information
for the teams involved.

Teams entering the relay event
have a minimum cost of a $450.00 donation. These fees can be
paid by donations of any person, persons, business or whomever.
The fee is 100% tax deductible. All entry fees go to the foundation.
A team must consist of 4 riders.
You may have 5 if one is a female. Each rider must complete a
minimum of 15 laps during the event. There are no age requirements
to be involved in the even this year. Each team is required to
complete the event to be eligible for awards. There will be prize
giveaways as well as awards for top teams in several catagories.
For example: The team that raises the highest dollar amount in
donations; the team that does the most laps in the event, etc.
We will have prizes for all kinds of other things.
This year's event also includes
a lunch for the riders by Alabama BBQ!
Please help us support this in
any way possible with your tax deductible gifts and donations.
We are already getting support for our live auction from professional
riders like Travis Pastrana, Tyler Evans, Paul Carpenter and
many others. This is not limited to the motocross Industry. We
have received gifts from Gatorade, Bam Margera, One Industries,
Imperial Limousine, and others.

so be ready!
Again, we need your support in
the form of prizes for our riders, gifts for our auctions, cash
donations, even sponsoring your own race team. Please get involved
