SRH Joins Top Moto Companies to Support a Great Cause

The
day started out quiet at Pala Raceway; until SRH and the crew showed up
firing off the bikes and blasting music to the track's early birds.
Before 11am we had an amazing crowd show up to give their support to 5
year old Daleigh Ford who is currently battling leukemia. Starting
almost an hour earlier than scheduled, the SRH FMX team as well as other
top FMX pros were ready to hit the ramps bright and early. With new
tricks and combos, Pro riders Destin Cantrell, Ronnie Renner, Colin
"Scummy" Morrison and a few others joined SRH riders Jesse Jolson, Greg
Schaaf, Bryce Hudson, Taylor Sterner, Vinnie Carbone, Jason Springfield,
and Cal Vallone to put on an amazing show for the crowd.

As
the wind picked up the show didn't stop! Throughout the day SRH BMX
Pros Dustin McCarty and Thomas Hancock were tearing up BMX ramps in the
middle of the action keeping people on their toes.

One of the main
highlights of the benefit was the raffle put on to raise funds for
young Daleigh's recovery and treatment. With massive prizes from
companies like SRH, Pro Circuit, Sullen, Osiris, We All Ride, Hostility,
Gibson Exhaust, and MANY MANY MORE, the raffle raised more than the
original goal and left the door open to bring more events like this and
support to the action sports community and the people that need it.

Event
coordinator and soon-to-be stepfather Michael Corlee had this to say to
the spectators and exhibitors who came out to show their support and
fight the heat with the rest of us:

"I just want to begin by
saying thank you to everyone that was involved in this day. I am
overwhelmed by the support that we received and how fast all of you
acted on helping any way you could. Thank you for being part of such a
special day for me. You all helped us raise $3410.00 for Daleigh which
exceeded our expectations. My fiance, Daleigh's mother, can't express
enough the overwhelming joy she got from watching the event unfold, and
the seeing the for her son in an industry she has always held in such
high regard. Everyone had a great time. With the success and support
that has come out of this event for Daleigh, we can look forward to
making this an annual event to benefit all Leukemia patients and their
friends and family. This industry and has given me so many cherished
moments in my life and I want to be able to give back. Seeing the
success just makes me want to do this again and again and I hope to
continue to see all of your support. You are all exceptionally good
people in my book and I can not thank you enough."
