Also Saturday night fans are encouraged to wear yellow for the second annual, “Yellow Out” in support of finding a cure for childhood cancer.
Childhood cancer is a parent’s worst nightmare and a fight no family should have to do alone. Right here in Central New York we are very blessed to have one of the best treatment centers there is at the Golisano Children’s Hospital in Syracuse, NY.
To help in this fight the racing family always steps up in a time of need. Saturday, July 14 at the Fulton Speedway it will be “Wear Yellow” night in support of Rhabdomyosarcoma awareness month. There will be an auction, raffles and other activities during the race night with all proceeds going directly to Golisano Children’s Hospital.
Rachael Fleming who is the wife of Fulton Speedway Late Model racer Chris Fleming and employee of the speedway has this cause very near and dear to her heart. We will let Rachael tell her story of love for one particular girl named Jennah.
“I met Jennah when she was a few months old. I started watching her at the daycare I worked at and we bonded immediately. I cared for her in her home as well. When Jennah was three, she started having bad stomach pains. Her parents took her to the hospital where they determined she had a late tumor. Her tumor tested positive for Rhabdomyosarcoma. Rhabdomyosarcoma is a fast-growing soft tissue cancer. Jennah had treatments for about a year and half. In March of 2017, Jennah started to deteriorate. Her cancer had spread to her bones. She fought hard, but she was tired and she told us. She peacefully passed without fear on March 17, 2017 just before her 5th birthday.”
Let us keep Jennah’s memory alive on July 14 and not make it only a wear yellow night but a “Yellow-Out.”
