Giving Back to the Autosport Community • RaceCanada Enters Team for Lupus Grand Prix
Toronto, Ontario -On Sunday May 11, RaceCanada will be joining a group of motorsport enthusiasts at Goodwood Kartways (Stouffville, ON) to help raise
awareness – and funds, to aid in the fight to find a cure for Lupus. The event is the 7th Annual Lupus Grand Prix hosted by Bill Bryan who has seen support continue to grow. RaceCanada staff attended last year's event and taken by the enthusiasm from the community, has chosen to enter a team in the 2014 race and support from our readers and fans would be greatly appreciated as we help contribute to the cause.
The Lupus Grand Prix is a timed (90 minute) endurance event run at one of Canada's premiere karting facilities, Goodwood Kartways in their Intrepid 4-cycle arrive & drive karts. Equally matched, these karts will provide each four-man team a level playing field with each team having a good shot at victory – and bragging rights.
RaceCanada currently has a team of three drivers leaving a fourth seat open for the race. Our goal is to open up the fourth seat via lottery – for every $20 the donor will receive a ballot making them eligible for the draw to take the fourth seat. Just think, for a small donation you could have the chance to join us on track for some fun while contributing to a good cause. Of course the more you donate, the more chances you have to get behind the wheel.
(NOTE: Due to waiver requirements, the driver selected must be 18 years of age or older.)
But your help is needed at every level, no matter what you can afford. Lupus is a potentially fatal disease capable of damaging virtually any part of the body. In the most severe forms of this disease it can cause disfiguring rashes and scarring, multiple miscarriages, kidney, heart and lung failure, strokes, seizures and heart attacks. There is no cure.
