“Super” Dave’s Race Against Childhood Cancer

Racer and Visionsports Riding Schools’ chief instructor “Super” Dave Rosno will compete in the Formula USA National Road Race Series in Sportbike and Superbike in an effort to raise awareness about pediatric cancer and to raise funds for Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer, Inc., the MACC Fund.

Formed in 1976, the MACC Fund is a charitable organization formed to support research into the effective treatment and cure of childhood cancer. Cancer is the leading disease-related cause of death in children after the newborn period.

As part of the program, “Super” Dave will be donating portion of his purse money to the fund. Dave continues, “Certainly, motorcycle road racing purses aren¹t incredible, but I’m willing to put some of the money toward the MACC Fund. I do have some private supporters that are interested in helping me out with some of my expenses, and if that goes like we’re hoping, I really hope to donate all my purse money to the MACC Fund.”

Additional funds will be raised through sales of “Super Dave’s 2004 Race Against Childhood Cancer” T-shirts. “Potentially, the shirt sales might surprise me. The shirts will be available at the Formula USA events, local road race events at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in Rockton, Illinois and Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin’s Road America, Visionsports Riding Schools’ programs, and on line. I’ve got a goal in mind of wanting to sell a thousand shirts. That should be good for a donation of about $10,000 to the MACC fund,” Dave concludes.

As part of the program, Dave will be setting up contacts for interviews with local media at each event. The final part of the program will involve visiting pediatric cancer patients. “I’ll be limited to local patients, but the idea is to show the kids that they are the heroes. Might just be a visit to sit down and read a book with them,” adds Dave.

Dave Rosno is married with two boys. He lost his mother, Dorothy Rosno, to cancer in 1995.
