WHAT IS THE "RACE FOR LIFE" |
|
|
It
all started in 1981
when an avid 12-year-old BMX racer from Michigan discovered he had
Leukemia. Todd Kingsbury was his name, and like many BMXers, he had
dreams of someday becoming a top pro in the sport. Unfortunately, this
dreaded disease would keep Todd from fulfilling his dream. When Todd’s friends and the American Bicycle Association learned of his diagnosis, it was decided that an organized effort should be made to help in Todd’s "Race for Life." The first ABA "Race for Life" events were formed that year, with over 130 tracks participating and raising funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Ever
since, the ABA has held a series of "Race for Life" events
nationwide to help in the fight to find a cure for blood-related
cancers. There are awards given to top fund raisers, which include
t-shirts, jackets and trips to the ABA Grand nationals of BMX. Of course, the best reward of all is the good feeling of helping others with Leukemia.
