Prayers and best wishes to you FlaNard. I have kids and grandkids and I can't imagine what it must feel like to watch your son go through this. It is very cool that he has that view of the stadium, I'm sure it is a nice distraction when the bikes are on the track for you and him Smile

FlaNard, posts like yours really put the world in perspective. Thank you so much for sharing this very trying time with us and giving us a reason to come together as the awesome group we all know the Moto community to be.

He is in some of the best hands on the planet for his circumstances, and the quality of care and genuine concern for his well being and future are in a good place.

My wife worked at Huntsmans Cancer Clinic as an RN for several years and still talks about the courage of the patients and the care and concern of those working with them.

If there's anything you need on a local basis don't hesitate to reach out to me by pm.

Roy

Done. I put “Go Collin!!” on the bottom but it didn’t show up once I checked out? Not sure what happened, I went back and it was there then it disappeared again when I was checking out. Hopefully it’s on the final product.

I can’t empress how much all of this means to us. All I have is a heartfelt thank you to everyone for your support and well wishes. I can’t explain how meaningful it really is to us during a time like this. All of you. Thank you!!!

Hi Richard. Collin wears a size 6. I appreciate everyone but please don’t feel obligated to get him anything. You guys are so awesome but I really don’t want to put anyone out.

All the best to little Collin and your family. He's a handsome little guy.

Does he have a favorite rider yet? Or maybe a favorite color/brand bike?

I think normally if he goes outside It’s okay in this open air garden that they have but he had to get a spinal tap and a bone marrow test this morning and he is out like a light at the moment from getting put under.

He should be receiving a care package from Rocky Mountain ATV within the next couple days! Hopefully it will brighten his day a bit! We wish your family the best and don't be afraid to reach out if you need anything at all! God bless.

The Love Family.

Also, if you want to send me your email, i will send tracking # so you can keep track of it if you wanted to.

No problem! Hopefully it makes the broadcast, I know it would be really exciting for him to see himself on tv!

Thank you!!! We like to think so. No, he’s not really got a favorite anything just yet. He’s still more in the “total awe“ phase of watching the sport.

Hey guys. So my son was recently diagnosed with leukemia which has us staying at Primary Children's hospital with a perfect view of the stadium where the supercross races are taking place. He watched the day race today and asked where the fireworks were. So I told him that I'd double check with those in the know but assumed no fans=no fireworks. He also said that if anyone wanted to say hi while they are in town to let me know. He also wanted to make sure that you know that he just passed his third Covid test yesterday (he's 5 so that's important to him.) He's new to the sport but loving it so far! When I told him that what was on TV was also right out his window it blew his little mind!
Hello Collin,

Do you have NBC Sports gold? If not, i would like to purchase the SX and MX pass for you, that way you have access to all the previous races this year, and the rest of the races to take place this year. (Dad, please show Collin)

my email is Tscham101@gmail.com, send me an email, and ill get it all sorted out for you and your son. what your family has to go through is hard enough, the least i can do is try to help him smile.

This stuff is making it hard for me to keep my composure. I’m truly touched by all of this. I never meant for this thread to become what it has but man...you guys are a different breed doing this for someone you’ve never met.

We do have the package but man thank you SO much. Collin just woke up a little bit ago and I’ve been reading a lot of this to him. He doesn’t really understand it but it makes him smile. It doesn’t get better than seeing that right now. Cool
