For the first time since 2010 and only the third time in the event’s 71 year history, Motocross des Nations will once again be held on U.S. soil. One team that is garnering the most buzz, both from fans and industry insiders, is the star-studded Team Puerto Rico comprised of Travis Pastrana, Kevin Windham and Ryan Sipes.
Pastrana and Windham chose to return to racing after so many years away to give back. A year after Hurricane Maria devastated the U.S. Territory of Puerto Rico, the Caribbean Island and it’s people are still in distress and disarray as they continue to rebuild after the catastrophic storm. Team Puerto Rico is not only racing Motocross des Nations to show up against the best in the world to try and best their 10th place finish in 2010, but their entire racing effort is dedicated to giving back to the people of Puerto Rico and helping them continue to rebuild their storm tattered shores.
In partnership with 501(c)3 non-profit organization Global Disaster Outreach, Team Puerto Rico is making a difference by utilizing their racing platform to not only raise awareness to the continuing rebuilding efforts in Puerto Rico, but also to fundraise in order to make the maximum positive impact possible. Global Disaster Outreach is the preferred disaster relief organization and Team Puerto Rico will be able to see exactly where the funds donated will be used and how they specifically will help with the rebuilding process.
Road 2 Recovery announced a partnership with Team Puerto Rico at Motocross des Nations to raise additional funds for Global Disaster Outreach. As of Monday, Sept. 24, at 11 a.m. PST, you will have the opportunity to win Windham’s MXoN official race bike. This eBay auction will last seven days and 100 percent of proceeds will be donated to Global Disaster Outreach. This partnership will give Team Puerto Rico an even larger platform for their fundraising efforts to help rebuild the island after Hurricane Maria. We are very excited to help them raise as much as possible for an incredibly worthy cause.
Not only will the winner go home with Windham’s actual Motocross des Nations race bike, but it will be signed. The winner will also receive a new set of gear signed by the entire Team Puerto Rico.
