YZ450F raffle to benefit Kyle Donahue

At the open practice at Central Village there will also be a raffle for a 2008 YZ450F. Tickets are 100. and there are only 50 of them so your chances of winning are pretty good. Half of the proceeds will go to Kyle.

Kyle Donahue benefit practice day

As you may have heard, on May 4th Kyle crashed on his home practice track breaking his back and damaging his spinal cord. He was hospitalized, had surgery and has had 5 vertebra fused. He still has a long way to go so the Central Cycle Club is holding an open practice to benefit Kyle on Saturday July 10th from 10 AM until 4 PM. After the practice there will be a BBQ and karoke with Dave Macleer. All proceeds will go to the Donahue family.
Tickets will be on sale at the next NESC race. Contact Rick Smiley NESC rider rep #93 or Mike Dipipo or any club member. Tickets can also be purchased at the gate on July 10th and are $30.

If you would like to send a card to Kyle his address is,

That's Wayne with his daughter Kayla and his Dad

It was great seeing everyone at Central Village on Sunday, June 13, 2010. I have missed seeing you all and I was very touched by your love, concern, well wishes, and support.  Jacqui and I would like to thank you all very much, it means a lot and Wayne was so excited to hear about my day and to hear how everyone was asking about him and saying how it was not the same without him there. Thank you!
 
Jacqui and I will be at Crow Hill this Sunday, June 20, 2010 to sell the “Live to Ride” bracelets and the Benefit Fund Dinner Tickets.  If you missed us at Central, please come by say “Hi”!  We would love to see you!
 
 A very important  note, we will not be selling Benefit Dinner Tickets at the door the night of the dinner.  I need to give Periwinkles a head count one week before the dinner.  You see the price of the tickets covers the cost of the dinner and if I have to estimate on how many “might” show up and they don’t, I will have to pay for those dinners.  I hope you understand.  If you happen to miss us at Crow Hill this weekend, you can either forward a check for the tickets to:
The Wayne Benjamino Benefit Fund
%Muriel Morse
103 Caroline Street
New Bedford, MA 02740
 
And we will mail them right out to you or you can meet up with us at Capeway in Middleboro, Massachusetts on June 26 and 27 or at the New England Classic the same weekend.
 
For those of you who were not at Central Village on Sunday, a quick update on Wayne.  Basically not much has changed,  he is staying put and listening to the Doctors.  He does not admit it, but he must be in pain if he is listening to the Doctors.  In two weeks we go back for some more tests and learn what the next course of action will be.    Two weeks is a long time to pass away the time doing nothing, so please keep the phone calls coming and come by to visit, he would love to see you!
