Proceeds to Advance Broc Glover’s Breathe Easy Ride
Against Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising Effort
March 18, 2008, San Diego, CA – Motorcycle racing champions from today and yesteryear have joined forces with AMA Hall of Fame motocross champion Broc Glover in his effort to raise money and awareness for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. A collection of valuable and much sought after racing items and memorabilia, the likes of which have seldom been seen before, are being donated for an online fundraising auction produced by Glover.
‘We are blessed that so many of the top names in racing have pledged these rare and wonderful items,’ said Glover. ‘Helmets, boots, artwork, and memorabilia will be offered on eBay prior to and after the March 30th Breathe Easy Ride as well as via a silent auction and raffle during our day long riding event on March 30th. Money raised will go a long way toward finding a cure for CF.’

As the parent of a young child afflicted with the disease, his 6-year-old son Dayne, Glover’s connection to the CF Foundation and CF research efforts runs deep. And his dedication to raising funds and awareness for the CF Foundation is no less significant than the energy he used to capture 6 AMA national motocross racing titles.
‘CF receives no government funding and survives primarily on fundraisers and events like our March 30th Breathe Easy Ride in Temecula (CA). Nothing has ever meant so much to me in my life and I will leave no stone unturned until a cure is found for this devastating disease.’ |
A wide selection of helmets, jerseys, riding apparel, and items of extreme collectible value included in Glover’s fundraising effort are:
