Motorsports Athletes Bring Cheer to Hospital

The stars of the Nuclear Cowboyz show, currently on an all-new North American Freestyle Motocross Tour, took time off from their schedule to visit their young fans at Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital on Thursday.

Freestyle motocross riders Mike Mason and Dustin Miller, both members of the “Soldiers of Havoc” tribe, as well as Karla Andrade, a dancer for the “Metal Mulisha” tribe, traded stories, took pictures, signed autographs, colored some pictures, and played video games with the kids at the hospital.

Nuclear Cowboyz are currently hosting a mobile giving campaign to benefit Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital. The mobile giving campaign and the hospital visit coincide with the Southern California return of their FMX show, which is at Citizens Business Bank Area through Sunday.

Earlier in the week, American Le Mans Series racecar driver Duncan Ende stopped by Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital on Wednesday to build pine wood derby cars and bond with the kids before racing in Saturday’s ALMS race at the 2012 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach.

Ende was a guest of the Austin Hatcher Foundation, which works to bring diversionary therapy to children with cancer at local hospitals.
