IN THIS CASE, IT REALLY IS.
M1GP IRONMAN Endurance racer Joshua Tootell will be up to his IRONways again in this spring's 8H3 (the third annual 8 Hours at Grange) - eight hour endurance race.
Some words from Josh:
Motorcycle racing, It's the Pit's. I will be once again racing the 8 hour for charity! I have teamed up with It's the Pits (http://www.itsthepits.org/) rescue. For those that don't know I did this at the first 8 hour in 2008 on my Yamaha YSR and failed to meet my goal of 242 laps for $1000. I did on the other hand abuse my body more then I ever have and really suffered. So, lets do it again, maybe a little less suffering and a few more laps! If you can, please make a pledge, even just 5 cents a lap will add up when many people contribute. And come watch me put myself through hell again! A little something from last time: http://pitbullrescuesandiego.com/help/tootell.htm. 100% of the proceeds will go to the charity.
For 8H3, Josh is still deciding whether he'll ride the Yamaha YSR or a Honda RS chassis bike...we'll see.
You can pledge a number of ways: per lap (example. $.50 per lap, OR a total sum)...whatever amount will help. It all adds up.
If you would like to make a pledge for Josh's worthy cause, please send your pledge notice to:
