Introducing,
Donald and Ronald Plumm
Just
a little background;
 I
found out that this family needs some fun in their life
to take some of the everyday reality out and their minds
off of stress a bit. Donald has a 12 year old son, Dylan,
who is dealing with after effects of cancer. He was only
2 when he was diagnosed.
" It has messed up his colon, stomach, and immune
system. He had to have a feeding tube put in this year.
He has already had to have 5 surgeries since the end of
november.Now, we are waiting on results on a MRI for reoccurance
of cancer in his left hip. He just had his tonsils and
adnoids taken out this morning. But, he is a strong child.
Keep us in your prayers.", Donald's wife Jeannie
shared with Dirt Scoops.
She also added, "Dylan just loves going to the races!"
Let us all keep this family in our thoughts,
and help support them on and off the track.
Note: For those who do not know what a cruiser
is, it's a racecar that is built for two people to drive.
One steers and has the brakes, the passenger takes care
of the gas. It makes for an interesting show on the track,
especially when new drivers are in a car!
Now, on to the showcase:
