Man I'm sending every available positive thought and vibe your way.. You can share em around for whoever needs them haha
You can tell Collin that I just had a chat with Nelly and she said all her positivity is reserved for the little man.. and that's a lot cause she's the most positive force I've ever encountered.. Hoping for the best

It would be really cool if Collin gets a mention on Sunday's broadcast Smile

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!
My heart and prayers are all with Collin and your family! You are a super dad!

MX comunnity is something else, great people!

Tell Collin we say hi From Mexico! Me, my wife and son.

Wow! Coming from you Jordan, with how big of an impact MotoXXX videos and culture made on me during the years I really fell in love with this sport is just crazy to me. Thank you so much man.

He’d love it but even if it’s not possible you guys have already done so much to lift his spirits. This has been such a huge boost for him that It’s a total success beyond anything I could have ever hoped for.

Bumping the thread for this. There are enough industry people on here that someone should be able to get this to the announcing crew. For good or bad, never under estimate the Vital brain trust. Lol

Collin Fox , now that sounds like a racers name if I’ve ever heard one. Would sound pretty cool over the announcing system at the stadiums. “ OUT OF FLORIDA , NUMBER 1 , COOOLLLIIINNNNN FOOOOOXXXXX “ I’m sure that if it wasn’t for this virus that we are dealing with right now , Collin would be getting a visit from some of his racing idols and it would most likely be shown during the tv coverage of the race. I have been affected by this thread just like everyone else on this sight , and am now thinking about Collin and his entire family. Hang tough guys and beat this thing. This sight is one heck of a support group when things get tough.

FlaNard,

Prayers sent for your little guy-you have always been a straight shooter on this board. My Bernedoodle, Luna, sends her best from the back of my sweet 1987 Chevy conversion van:

This is the reason I still go to the track and dont even race anymore. The moto family is the best there is.

Prayers from Michigan.

Ill be looking for you on the broadcast this weekend. Wink

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.
How long will you be there? Does he like seven gear?

I was having such a crap day till I came on this thread. You all are amazing people and with all the stuff going on right now it feels so good to see and read all your kind words to this little man. If it were not for tough times right now I’d be sending some stuff to Collin as well. My thought and prayers are with you Collin. I really hope somebody can make this get seen by the people on the broadcast crew that would be awesome. It’s always good to see the youth enjoying the sport I grew up with and have such a strong passion for. Hey Collin if you need help on picking a favorite rider Adam Cianciarulo is one heck of a nice guy!

Hey man! It sounds like we’ll be here for about a month, then home for a week or two and then back in for a month. Rinse and repeat for a minimum of the rest of the year. He’s still so new to the sport that he doesn’t have much knowledge of brands or racers yet. He’s only started watching supercross together with me this year (he’s got a new 50 waiting for him when he gets home which is going to blow his mind!) and all he knows is that the racers are borderline superheroes to him. He’s very new to it but took to it hard and in a hurry!

I reached out to the dog therapy group earlier to see if they could send some friendly faces by to say a quick hello to the little guy but the hospital has those services suspended until further notice due to covid 19.

No worries though, im working on something much bigger for Collin, ill let you know if im able to pull it off!

My thoughts are with you all, my family is very moved by the power and generosity of this forum when one of us needs help, other members come running and thats one of the reasons the mx/sx community is so awesome to me.
