ORANGE, Ca (July 23, 2008) - MX Sports and multi-time Amateur National Motocross Champion Kevin Foley and Family are pleased to announce the 3rd Annual Race 4 Rett Benefit at the 2008 AMA/Air Nautiques Loretta Lynns Amateur National MX Championships.
Race 4 Rett is a fundraiser for awareness and research for Rett Syndrome, a debilitating neurological disease afflicting Kevin's daughter Emma and thousands of other girls like her. For 2008 Foley returns to Loretta Lynn's Ranch in Hurricane Mills, Tennessee, racing not just for his 10th title, but more importantly to raise money to help find a cure for his daughter.
“My family and I thank MX Sports for this opportunity,” said Foley, who has competed in the very first Loretta Lynn's motocross race held at the famed country music entertainer's home, back in 1982. "Recent scientific breakthroughs have given us more hope than ever that treatments and a cure are possible, but there is still a long way to go and dollars are needed to fund this research."
Please help the Foleys reach their goal of making Rett Syndrome the first reversible childhood neurologic disorder. All proceeds raised will go towards Rett Syndrome research aimed at finding a cure and are tax deductible. To make a donation and find out more about Rett Syndrome please visit www.race4rettmx.com or email the Foleys at race4rettmx@emmafoley.com
