The Gift that keeps giving

As most of you know TSR started a benefit ebay auction to help 16yr old Stone Edler in his Fight for Life against cancer. We were about 4 days into tweeting, contacting riders/companies asking for help with the auction. Both riders and companies were responding very well. Then the next morning while I was on the Fb benefit page I was contacted by a gentleman named Jacob Barnes. He asked if we had a Kyle Chisholm or Hunter Hewitt jersey yet. I replied not yet but we were working on it.Jacob then replied well I have 2 jerseys I would like to donate for the auction, It was from Chiz and Hunter and he asked for shipping info so he could get it out right away. I gave him the info needed and he said I will ship them tomorrow. He then said, Oh yea, The Chiz jersey is his Transworld photo shoot jersey autographed and I have a copy of the magazine with Chiz wearing the jersey also autographed but Hunters not he said but I think it will help Stone out anyways. I replied Thank you so much and we truly appreciate the help Jacob.

So from that day on he would hit me up on fb asking how Stone was and how I was feeling with my health issues. Acted like a grown man and I never thought alot about his age or anything as I was truly excited that we had a very special jersey to add to the auction plus Hunters jersey. So the jerseys arrived priority mail in a cpl days. Again daily he's checking on Stone and I. So a week or so later he hit me up asking if I had any luck yet with a RV2 or Jake Weimer autographed jersey yet. I replied not yet but again Jacob I'm sure they will respond but were late in the outdoor season and riders and companies alike are very busy. Jacob replies well I have those 2 jerseys autographed I also want to send to help Stone. So outta the blue I asked Jacob how old he was? He replies I'm 13, Why do you ask. I replied I was just wondering and then it hit me like a ton of bricks. here's a 13 yr old giving up his collection of autographed jerseys and more to help another child fighting cancer. As soon as it hit me clearly I told Jacob to keep his other jerseys he had done so much to help already and that we truly appreciated his help but I didn't want him giving up anymore of his prized items. He said No, I want to help all I can Mr. Mike.

So I ask, How many 13 year old kids do you know that would be so willing to give up a collection that most any of us would be envy of to help another child/racer out like this? Jacob also runs a fb page called Motohd where you can watch just about anything from sx/mx in HD from his page. So what I ask is if you guy's and gal's would take just a minute and hit his fb page with a like and check it out and Thank him for doing what he has done to help Stone in his fight for Life against cancer. Jacob truly has become the gift that just keeps giving and I think he deserves to be recognized for what he has done. He also made the trip to Elsinore to pick up Davi Millsaps autographed helmet for us and then shipped it the following Monday. In our eye's the kids truly one in a million!Thanks for taking the time to read this and we at Team Sakai Racing would truly appreciate all of you giving this young man a shout out.
