The Road 2 Recovery Foundation Announces 2nd Annual Ride Day
Press Release Issued By The Road 2 Recovery Foundation (July 1, 2008)
Scottsdale, AZ -
The Road 2 Recovery National Ride
Day is being held during the month of September
to provide a mobile medical unit at the top Amateur Nationals. Realizing
that amateurs are the future of motocross, we believe they deserve the
same attention as professional athletes while in competition. The onsite
medical unit debuted at Loretta Lynn's in 2007 and it provides treatment
from qualified trainers and doctors that have a background in motocross
injuries. The unit also provides mobile education with information on
products that can help prevent injuries.
