Just texted Destry.......he is in good spirits considering. Make sure you click on the go fund me link to help with whatever you can........We all know he is a legend motorcycle racer but I'll tell you that he is a great man overall!! Get well quick Dusty Rabbit and we're all pulling for you.

Right on USMC!! Thanks for the update, I know anything helps that's why I posted the link as soon as I read. My crew sends our prayers and thoughts

I just donated. Kris Keefer from Dirt Rider donated right after me. It's good to see how quickly the donations are rolling in.

I know a lot of us don't have a lot of money just remember everything helps

good to hear!!....a persons attitude towards some things can go a long way in certain situations.

It's almost to $65k. It's so nice to see the fans, industry, and fellow riders supporting Destry.

It's over 66k 8-)

That sucks. Donated. Thanks for giving the heads up.

So far he is up to 75K!! I know a lot of you don't have social media so here is a message from the Champ and KX500 God to everyone who has helped!!
"I don't even know where to start!!! I've been at the hospital since Sunday and just got word that I have Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia. I'll be starting Chemo tomorrow and I definitely have a long race ahead of me! I will be doing 14-days of chemo then 10-days at home (limited visitors) then back to the hospital for 14-days and repeating for 5-months. After the 5 months chemo cycle is done we'll see how things look and go from there! I'm floored on the support we've received and you guys don't know how much this will help!!! It honestly brings tears to my eyes to know what a great sport this is and to know how much it's going to help with the 5-months at the hospital!!! I love you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!"

The campaign is over $85k! They reset the goal to $100k, and hopefully it will make it there.

So on a side note, his kx 500 is going to be raffled off....... There goes my savings

Will be praying for your mom as well, God Bless her!! My gramps is stage 4 prostate and it has spread to his spine and shoulders but is hanging in there pretty good at the ripe old age of 91.

There is just way too much cancer in the world these days. It's a stupid disease. It in turn kills itself. Or reincarnates somewhere elsein another host. I lost my an uncle to skin cancer. And recently,my grandpa on my dads side to prostrate , and my moms mom to bone marrow. My hopes , prayers , and best wishes for the families of anyone who has,or knows somebody who is suffering from this miserable disease.

to much focus on treatment not the cure!

Pharmaceutical companies

Hey USMC, any word on how Destry is holding up?
I don't speak with Destry often as he has a lot on his plate....but the last contact I had with him blows my mind away......for a man who was diagnosed with leukemia and then recently finding out that his wife Charlotte has breast cancer, he has the most determined positive attitude imaginable. The treatments are beating him up pretty good but his spirit and attitude remains solid and determined. I encourage everyone to send him a personal message on social media as he does read them all. The dude is a true champion on the bike and off the bike. Get Well Soon Destry and Charlotte!! 8-)
