This years race will benefit Aaron Roach.
Arron has suffeed a head/brain injury as a result of a motorcycle accident. After 54 days in the hospital - 2 ambulance rides, a helicopter rider, 1 major surgery to remove part of his skull to relieve pressure, 2 other procedures, several CTs, MRIs, X-rays and lab work, 2 weeks in ICU sedated on a paralytic and intubated, and 1 month in Chicago doing rehab - he is finally home.
