Story
I am continuing the legacy of an initiative started by my younger brother who tragically lost his life doing what he was most passionate about, riding motor bikes. His inspiration came about from a chance meeting with Emma Young, a lover of motor bikes but diagnosed with cancer.
His plan was to make the dreams of people like Emma, experience the thrill of biking in the safe and controlled environment of the race track. That same thrill that bikers around the globe experience daily on and off the track.
I'd like to take this initiative one step further. Whenever a loved one is lost, especially as bikers, the biking community is an environment like no other. It had me thinking about the children of those lost through biking accidents. Sometimes, they are too young to understand the pain of a lost loved one. We would like to create "...Happy Memories Day out..." built around all the things that were both a happy time and unique to the lost one, culminating in a custom made memento to keep those happy times alive forever.
Carl's ethos was "... to raise funds charitably to enable motorcycle riders with incurable cancer attend and participate in motorcycle track days. We want to enable our fellow riders with the desire, to experience the sheer thrill of discovering their personal limits and the limits of their machine, in a safe, road-traffic free environment. Which, by the way also translates into a more competent and safe road rider.
We can make this happen, Let's make it happen...
