THE CAUSE
A little history on Jimmy and Cory; In January 2000, Jimmy was a Factory Yamaha motocross racer and Cory was his personal trainer and best friend. On January 22nd of that year Jimmy suffered paralyzing injuries when he crashed during practice for the San Diego round of the AMA Supercross series. The injuries sustained was a pinched spinal cord in the C-2 to C-6 region of his neck leaving him paralyzed from the neck down, and considered an incomplete quadriplegic. After many months of rehabilitation he was able to regain movement and be one of the very fortunate few that ever recover from these types of injuries. During this time, Cory was ever present in the long rehab process.

Now, ten years later Jimmy and Cory are teaming up to ride bicycles from the place of his accident which was Qualcomm Stadium to Daytona International Speedway to raise money for those people that were not so fortunate after suffering a spinal cord injury. The goal is to raise money for the very important research that is going on that could end the suffering a person goes through after having injured their spinal cord.

HOW WE'RE HELPING
Archview MX Park will help Jimmy in three ways:

1. We'll donate a portion of all the proceeds from our Annual Day After Supercross event held on April 10th. Every rider that participates in our practice day event can take pride in knowing they've contributed to this important cause.
   
2. An auction will be held during the Day After Supercross event. As you probably know, Jimmy has a long list of friends in the motocross community. They've made some generous donations that will be available for purchase...and 100% of the proceeds go directly to Miles for Miracles. From autographed apparel and gear worn by your favorite riders to top-quality merchandise from the leading manufacturers, there will be plenty of cool stuff to generate some exciting bidding.
   
3. Members from the Archview Crew will be teaming up with other motocross riders from the St. Louis region and ride with Jimmy during a portion of his cross country journey. The St. Louis team will be doing separate fundraising activities in addition to the contribution being made by Archview.
   

The motocross community here in the Midwest has always been eager to lend a helping hand to a worthy cause.  Please join us in the effort to raise funds for this important research and help make a difference in the lives of those dealing with spinal cord injuries.
