I'm not sure how many of you know Mike Crabtree with 5 Spoke Films. His 3 year old son Ian was diagnosed with Leukemia 2 weeks ago. I started setting up a benefit race the next day. This has grown to 3 events in 2 countries with a lot of help from Neo Buggy, Buggy Sport, RC Revolution, Pirate RC, Steve Hale and Kim Mayberry.
This will be a single day event at Real RC in Pleasant Hill and Black Sheep Raceway in Utah on July 19th. The race in the UK at DRT will be June 29th. We are working on the format right now but let's just say it will be designed for FUN! Steve Hale is working on some ideas so it could involve a food fight who knows. LOL
We will have raffles at each event and several charity auctions leading up to the events. The current list of sponsors is:
Jammin
O'Donnell
Futaba
Hitec
Xtreme
RC Car
Neo Buggy
Pirate RC
Buggy Sport
RC Revolution
Traxxas
J Concepts
Mod Hobby.com
Team Titan
Raceday Hobbies
TNT FX
247 Design
RC Car Racer & Fun (Germany)
RC Signup
Fioroni
RC Pro Caribbean
RC Pro US

Please pass the word. We may also do a Texas event on July 19th. We are still accepting sponsorship of any size. All proceeds will go to the Ian Crabtree Leukemia Fund. Once that account is finalized we will also be hosting a donation button on numerous websites.

thanks

My thoughts and prayers go out to him.
