Super Dave's Race Against Childhood Cancer

"Super" Dave's Race Against Childhood Cancer

Racer and Visionsports Riding Schools' chief instructor "Super" Dave Rosno will compete in the Formula USA National Road Race Series in Sportbike and Superbike in an effort to raise awareness about pediatric cancer and to raise funds for Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc., the MACC Fund.

Formed in 1976, the MACC Fund is a charitable organization formed to support research into the effective treatment and cure of childhood cancer.  Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death in children after the newborn period.

As part of the program, "Super" Dave will be donating portion of his purse money to the fund.  Dave continues, "Certainly, motorcycle road racing purses aren't incredible, but I'm willing to put some of the money toward the MACC Fund.  I do have some private supporters that are interested in helping me out with some of my expenses, and if that goes like we're hoping, I really hope to donate all my purse money to the MACC Fund."

Additional funds will be raised through sales of "Super Dave -  Racer Against Childhood Cancer 2004" t-shirts.  "Potentially, the shirt sales might surprise me. The shirts will be available at the Formula USA events, local road race events at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, Illinois and Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin's Road America, Visionsports Riding Schools' programs, and on line.  I've got a goal in mind of wanting to sell a thousand shirts.  That should be good for a donation of about $10,000 to the MACC fund," Dave concludes.

As part of the program, Dave will be setting up contacts for interviews with local media at each event.  The final part of the program will involve visiting pediatric cancer patients.  "I'll be limited to local patients, but the idea is to show the kid's that they are the heroes. Might just be a visit to sit down and read a book with them," adds Dave.

Dave Rosno is married with two boys.  He lost his mother, Dorothy Rosno, to cancer in 1995.

I applaud your efforts!  I will definitely be buying a shirt from you.

You going to be at the one :( Gateway race this year?

[Super Dave]

I might have to miss it, Gateway.  I've got my schedule wrapped pretty tight that I think I had to make some decisions on some events that I would have to miss.  I might be working with people during Sportbike Track Time events, if I'm bought for those days.

I'll have the special shirts available soon.  They will cost more and they will give me some funds to help with my expenses.  That link is here... http://www.team-visionsports.com/images/SD-RACC.pdf  

And it has my racing schedule on it.

I should have some standard shirts available at Daytona and there after.  I'll be able to ship them no problem if you want them.  When I have them, I'll make an announcement here too.

Super Dave,
I knew you were a good guy - Now I think I underestimated your kindness!  Could you email me the info - I would like to buy a shirt too please!
my email is Lauraswckt@aol.com.
You helped me, now it is my turn to help you carry on your kindness!

Laura

Thanks...

This is the link to the PDF form...  Everyone will have to fill it out manually and then FAX it or Mail it.

And I'll e-mail it too...

The whole project is a bit new to me, but it was just something that was in my head, and I finally executed.  At my age, certainly, I'm not going to get any ride other than the one's that I get...which are nice.  I have fun, and I think I ride pretty well when I put my mind to it.  Even goes pretty well, when I don't have my mind into it...LOL!

Anyway, I felt it was just time to do something like this.  I advise my racing students how to develop their programs.  I understand what works, and I know how to do it cheap.  That's what happens when you don't have any money... ;D  Anyway, it will be good for the MACC Fund, the established program I'm working with, great for motorcycle road racing, and I'll have a good time doing it.  What more can I ask for?

Thanks, guys.  If you want to print out that page and distribute it, that would be great.  I need a bit of capital to get the shirts and all going.  I need to have stuff finalized for Daytona on some by about the 28th...

The off season is a bit short.

[Johnson]

Our off season could be called anything but short............If it ever warms up here.......we can sit and watch the snow melt and think warm thoughts.

Oh yeah,  I'll be ordering a shirt too dave, and really admire your efforts to help out a good cause.

And thanks to FUSA and Roadracing World for putting my release on their websites!
