This has always been an awesome example, in my mind, of the motocross community coming together when most needed.
Back in May 2012, Motokazie had a benefit for a family in Jordan that lost five in a terrible accident on the way back from a Texas motocross race the month before.
My small role, among dozens of other volunteers, was to handle the online promotion of a fundraiser event that could at least help with the financial implications of this tragedy.
The benefit was held at the Scott County Fairgrounds and raised $144,953 for the family. We drew in 200 riders and 1,900 spectators, the most people I’ve ever seen at Jordan, coming together for a necessary cause.
Here is the Kerber Family memorial lap.
Remember, always say “yes” to things that are fundamentally important. You’ll find a way to fit it into your life.
