R
oad2Recovery is assisting
Destry Abbott with a raffle to
raise funds for Charlotte, Destry's
wife, who is battling cancer. The
motorcycle up for grabs is a fully
loaded 2019 KTM 150SX. From
Destry Abbott:
"I wanted to give you an
update regarding how my wife,
Charlotte, is doing and also
ask for a favor. As most of you
know, Charlotte's breast cancer
has returned, and this time has
spread to her bones. In addition,
she broke her back due to brittle
bones not long after her diagno-
ses. It's now been five months
since her accident, and a little
less than that since starting her
chemo treatments. She's cur-
rently doing a lot better with her
back and has relearned to walk
and can now take care of herself
which is awesome! She finished
her main chemo treatment, but
the cancer hasn't fully disap-
peared so they're keeping her on
a three-week maintenance cycle
to see if that helps. Unfortunate-
ly, she wasn't able to complete
her last treatment due to results
from her last echocardiogram,
so now she's having to see a car-
diologist to make sure her heart
is able to handle the treatment
before we move forward.
"The good news is we have
her scheduled to go to MD
Anderson in Houston, Texas, at
the end of October for a sec-
ond opinion and she's staying
positive and working towards
rebuilding her strength. This is
where I went for my treatments,
and we feel it's the best place to
go in the world! They have a lot
of trials and advanced medicine
that can possibly help her out.
Of course, we've also had an
amazing support system and we
are so overwhelmed and thank-
ful to everyone that has stepped
up in so many ways to help. Our
kids and family have gone above
and beyond to help take care of
her during this time. We've had
amazing close friends such as
Cody Miller (from CM Off-Road),
who surprised us by donating
and building up a KTM 150 from
the ground up with help from
sponsors specifically for the
purpose of raffling it off to help
raise funds for the battle we have
in front of us. Road2Recovery is
taking care of the logistics for the
raffle and helping make a push to
the community for us.
"Many of you are aware of the
non-profit DA8 Strong Founda-
tion (501c3) that we started
(Above) Road2Recovery is teaming
up with the DA8 Strong Foundation to
raise funds for Charlotte Abbott who
is battling cancer. This fully loaded
2019 KTM 150SX is up for raffle.
