Enter raffle for a change to win a 2019 KTM 150SX
Road2Recovery is assisting Destry Abbott with a raffle to raise funds for Charlotte, Destry’s wife, who has cancer. The motorcycle up for grabs is a fully loaded 2019 KTM 150SX. Here is the letter from Destry Abbott and more about his family’s circumstance:
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to give you an update regarding how my wife, Charlotte, is doing and also ask for a favor. As most of you know, Charlotte’s breast cancer has returned and this time has spread to her bones. In addition, she broke her back due to brittle bones not long after her diagnoses. It’s now been 5-months since her accident, and a little less than that since starting her chemo treatments. She’s currently doing a lot better with her back, and has relearned to walk and can now take care of herself which is awesome! She finished her main chemo treatment, but the cancer hasn’t fully disappeared so they’re keeping her on a three week maintenance cycle to see if that helps. Unfortunately she wasn’t able to complete her last treatment due to results from her last echocardiogram, so now she’s having to see a cardiologist to make sure her heart is able to handle the treatment before we move forward.
The good news is we have her scheduled to go to MD Anderson in Houston, Texas at the end of October for a second opinion and she’s staying positive and working towards rebuilding her strength. This is where I went for my treatments and we feel it’s the best place to go in the world! They have a lot of trials and advanced medicine that can possibly help her out. Of course, we’ve also had an amazing support system and we are so overwhelmed and thankful to everyone that has stepped up in so many ways to help. Our kids and family have gone above and beyond to help take care of her during this time. We’ve had amazing close friends such as Cody Miller (from CM Offroad), who surprised us by donating and building up a KTM 150 from the ground up with help from the sponsors listed below specifically for the purpose of raffling it off to help raise funds for the battle we have in front of us. Road2Recovery is taking care of the logistics for the raffle and helping make a push to the community for us.
Many of you are aware of the non-profit DA8 Strong Foundation (501c3) that we started after Charlotte and I recovered from our treatments back in 2017 focused on helping cancer patients. This is a passionate cause for us obviously and we really put a lot of work into helping cancer patients with this foundation. Ironically, the only cancer patients we can’t help with this foundation is ourselves since we are the founders and on the board of the foundation.
So our ask of you is if you would be able to share the info regarding this raffle to help raise money for bills and traveling expenses that would mean so much to our family! We’re not the type of people to ask for anything, but we have some tough times ahead and could really use the help.
The bike will also be on display at the final AMA National Motocross in Hangtown this weekend at the Road2Recovery tent. Huge thank you to them for stepping up and taking care of all of this for us! <3
