Harrison, PA (11/29/2005) - Scott Smalley
just wrapped up another impressive year of GNCC
racing in the Vet Class, and he recently purchased
a new home for his newly formed family as him
and Heather exchanged their marriage vows just
two weeks ago on November 12th, but just as the
everything was looking bright, disaster struck
when Heather found their new home engulfed in
smoke when she returned home from shopping.
The couple and two children lost almost everything
they owned in the blaze that raged through their home.
The fire was presumably started by an overheated hot
water heater which exploded. Regardless of the cause,
the Smalley family was left homeless, and they surely
need all the help they can receive during this time
of need.
As a member of the ATV community, I feel a need to
help my fellow racer and friend, and I hope others
are willing and able to help the Smalley family during
their difficult time because a little help from hundreds
of people can go a long way in getting them back on
their feet before the holidays.
It has been brought to my attention that Mike, Instigatorracing.com,
has already started a fund raiser for the Smalley
family, and I plan to donate $100 to the fund in an
effort to help them and I encourage others to donate
as well.
