ALSTAR Motorcycle
Charity Ride |
|
Keith is Brent's brother. Keith & another brother Vern are both ALSTAR Officials, and
travel with the Series. The War Amps, (<http://www.waramps.ca/index.html>), have done and still do a tremendous amount of goodness for people of all ages who are amputees like Brent and Mitzi. These three brothers have been involved in all phases of stock car racing for years and this is their reasoning, with the support of ALSTAR Racing, for starting this worthwhile endeavour………. |
|
The idea of this charity
ride began after a near fatal motorcycle versus car collision in July of 2003. Keith & Brent, both firefighters, & Brent's daughter Mitzi, 19 years old at the time of this accident and riding with Brent, were returning home from a motorcycle ride with a few other firefighters, all who ride with the Red Knight's Motorcycle Club. This is a club dedicated to raising money for burned children. (<http://www.redknightsmc.org/>). |

To make a long
story short, they were at the wrong place at the wrong time. Brent & Mitzi both lost part of their legs, among other life altering injuries, suffered when the driver of the other vehicle let his car cross over the centre line striking Brent & Mitzi on their motorcycle. |
