New Year's RiderDown Benefit Races

RiderDown is pleased to announce that there will be two separate benefit races held this weekend.  Both of these charity races are being held in the name of Will Pattison with proceeds going to RDF to help injured riders.  Will Pattison was severely injured this past summer and has been working hard on his recovery ever since. Will has been involved in offroad racing for many years and was a founding member of the Texas Offroad Racing Organization (TORO).  He has touched many in the MX community and has been an incredible source of inspiration to many more. For more info on Will’s story please visit: http://www.riderdown.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1673

Will’s girlfriend, Carol Stanfill, has also been an inspiration during this difficult time showing remarkable strength, determination and undeterred devotion.  The following is a recent message from Carol regarding the charity races being held in Arkansas and Texas this weekend:  “There are two upcoming events which are very important to Will & me – the 9th Annual Almosta Race & the Bonita 100.  We are grateful that both events will benefit the RiderDown Foundation in honor of Will.  We would very much appreciate your support!

RiderDown Foundation champion and all-around great guy, Bruce Vermeulen has become a great friend.  He has been an unbelievable and unexpected source of support and friendship to both me & Will during this difficult time.  When RiderDown says they help downed riders, they mean it!”
