Pro’s Give Back: Dungey, Canard, and Fiolek Collectibles Highlight 4th Annual MX for Children Charity Auction‏

Seattle, WA. -
Lead by 2010 AMA Motocross National Champions Ryan Dungey and Trey
Canard, a dozen leading Motocross and Supercross racers have joined
together for the 2010 MX for Children 'Giving Thanks' charity auction.
Funds raised from this 4th annual auction benefit hydrocephalus
research at leading Children's Hospitals including Toronto's SickKids,
Seattle Children's, Utah's Primary Children's, Children's Hospital of
Alabama, St. Louis Children's, Pittsburgh Children's and Houston's
Texas Children's Hospital.


The theme of this year's auction is "Helmets for Hydro". "Hydro" is
short for "Hydrocephalus" -- the #1 cause of brain surgery in kids and
affects one million people in the United States. Leading motocross
riders such as Ryan Dungey, Trey Canard, Ashley Fiolek, Andrew Short,
Ben Townley, and Brett Metcalfe and others have personally signed and
donated helmets from this past season to this year's auction.


"The children who suffer from hydrocephalus can greatly benefit from
the clinical research conducted by these participating hospitals," said
Dr. John Kestle, chief of pediatric neurosurgery at Primary Children's
Hospital in Salt Lake City. "We will put these funds to good use to
reduce infection rates and improve treatments for these kids."


MX for Children is a group of volunteers that organize fundraising
events and unique experiences around the sport of Motocross and
Supercross benefiting research at children's hospitals around North
America. In addition to this annual auction, MX for Children runs local
MX ride events and the Inside Line Experience pledge drive in
conjunction with Supercross. All events provide a way for people who
love the sport of motocross to give back to their community in a
significant way.


The eBay auction commences 8:00am PST on Nov. 16th and ends Nov. 25th. To learn more about the auction, please visit us at www.mxforchildren.org, our Facebook page, or on Twitter.
