I know this thread has been inactive for a while, but the DMF did SO much to help raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Foundation, that I thought you might be interested in this.

Harrison recently shared his story to an audience as part of his recovery process.  He has been in remission since Thanksgiving 2009, almost exactly one year from when he was diagnosed!  They put on a show titled "Dude, where's my hair?"  It's funny, inspirational, and really shows Harrison's strong positive character.  He also talks about his passion for racing motorcycles.   [moto]

The Ringel Family announced at our miniracing banquet that they will be holding another benefit race this year, this time for the Make a Wish Foundation.  Do you want to know the wish they granted??  He and his family will be going to the MotoGP race in Laguna Seca!  He will be staying in a VERY nice hotel right near the track, watching the race from a special location, and he gets to meet Nicky Hayden in person - his favorite racer.  Nicky's favorite charity is Make a Wish, so this was a pretty easy sell for them I guess.    Nicky will also take Harrison for a spin around the track on the back of his GP bike!  Pretty freaking awesome

Maybe Nicky can pry Mamolas fingers off the 990cc 2-up bike and give the boy a proper ride.

That is great to hear, that is going to be a very cool experience riding on Nicky's bike.

Anyone else here remember this?  You have to be an old fart.  I still wear my green T-shirt once in a while.  I had forgot it was even about Leukemia specifically, it was just one of my motorcycle shirts.  That is until my 5 year old said the word on the shirt out loud to me.  How did she know a big word like that?  She was diagnosed with it last year, and has been in treatment for over 8 months. 

Kind of strange I had the last post on this from 2010, and the next one again in 2017...  I haven't posted much in a long time.  Not due to anything specific, but getting more involved in bicycles VS motorcycles.  I still read once in a while and it feels the same.

Sorry to hear about your daughter's condition mitt...I truly am. Us dad's aren't programmed for things we can't fix.

Glad to hear that this place still feels the same for you.

Come around more often.

Oh man, so sorry to hear this mitt.  Best thoughts from the wife and me.
