Tanner Heemsbergen benefit race

[spanky]

Hi guys, Amber here.... jacking Spanky's log in

I am organzing a benefit race out at our track for Tanner Heemsbergen. The Heemsbergen family have been good friends of ours for many years. I am going to have to coordinate with Spanky when they get back from Ponca for a date and will post up that info soon... I am going to need help to pull this off.. and thats where you come in! I want to make this as big as possible.. so I will need donations for give-a-ways and sponsors. If you have "hook ups" send them my way. If you are able to help call me. My cell is 940-395-7577. Call me so I can get a list going. Feel free to pass this info on.... the more people it reaches the better! Also... track owners.... help us out.. this is for a great cause. Todd and his family have touched many lives and bikes over the years..... let's pay them back for their dedication to our mx community. Being a small business owner is hard in this economy and I know they are going to need some big help... Tanner has a very long road to recovery and many more surgeries to go.

Thanks so much guys! Let's make this huge... call me!

Volkswagen of Corpus Christi (Eddie Lee - vdubdealer) is in for a grand! My daughter got ran over at this same track (probably the same blind jump) last year. The Heemburgen family are good people and knowing what the hospital in Austin charges, they are going to need a lot of money just to pay the deductible and balance billing those surgeons there charge. Trust me, I know! Best wishes to Tanner. Hopefully others will help with sponsorship of this benefit race.

You guys have been great in helping me and it is so appreciated! If I fogot to thank you I appoligize, but you know I appreciate your help in organizing this!

I'm looking forward to it. Todd H is as good of a guy as there is. I hope there is a huge turnout to help out a guy that's helped so many. I know me and the 616's will be there. Who else is in???

[WFO]

I'm going to head up there with Brandon for practice sat. Don't think I could do a race unless I could bring my camelback full of wine.
