I'm proud to announce
that with the help of Cornerstone MX, Team Faith's
Kevin Johnson, April Sutton and others, we will be hosting a benefit Ride
Day on Saturday May 9th for injured AMA professional rider and friend Leighton
Lillie. For those that don't know Leighton
Lillie or his story.... On Saturday February 7th Leighton Lillie had a bad crash at the Tulsa, OK
AMA National Arenacross race. He was going for the triple in the rhythm
section and had to jump off his bike mid air. He
came down feet first and landed hard on his
butt. Immediately he had no feeling in his lower extremities. He was rushed to the
Hospital to find out that Leighton fractured his
T6 and T7 in his spine. He had back surgery a few
days after the accident where they inserted 2 rods and 11 pins in his
back. He has now been transferred to Craig's Hospital in
Denver, CO. and is ready to get going on walking again. The Ride Day event will
include a raffle, a auction for jerseys from top pros,
food and more. The track will be open for regular scheduled
practice so everyone come on out! -Track opens at 10am, regular open practice until 7pm -Raffle and auctions
will begin around 12pm Visit Leighton's website

donations, or donations of items for the raffle
would be greatly appreciated! It is going
to be a blast so please come enjoy the fun and help raise money
for an amazing guy on his road to recovery. Thank you! |
