Seattle,
WA. (April 17, 2012) – 


MX for
Children is pleased to announce Helmets for Hydro III, our 3rd helmet
auction benefiting 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 auction begins on April 17, 2012 on eBay.


"This
is only the second helmet I have ever given away to be auctioned as I
keep most of my old ones or swap them with other races as I collect
them, so it is very rare to own a genuine David Knight helmet”
stated David Knight, World Enduro Champion and KTM factory rider.


Supercross
stars such as Brett Metcalfe, Justin Brayton, and Matt Lemoine have
personally signed and donated helmets for this auction helping to
continue to raise funds for hydrocephalus research -- the #1 cause of
brain surgery in children which affects one million people in the
United States.


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.
