We have Lift Off!

What an amazing day for Lupus and Brad Coleman Racing. My daughter and I met many people touched by Lupus, today. People in the NASCAR world, people outside of it, standing at the fence chatting it up with the drivers and even with sponsors like us. For those of you out there today, thank you, thank you! You inspired my daughter, son and me all day so we could take the Lupus message to a bigger audience. We succeeded thanks to Brad Coleman, his racing team, ESPN, all of the NASCAR press, and all of those people that we connected with today.

Brad finished 10th in one of the most gut-wrenching, heart-yanking, motivational runs I've ever seen. He got popped up in the air by another driver, shredding his front left hood and quarterpanel, got blinded for an agonizing amount of time by a ball of tape used to patch the damage, and he pounded that car through holes that no one else saw to finish in a place right up there with the big boys. This young hot-shot has arrived, and the Lupus community was part of it. And, he never scratched the Life without Lupus logos! We're definitely going to swing through Charlotte, North Carolina on our way to Daytona to see Brad in his hometown. Watch for photos from this awe-inspiring day. Coming soon.
