Inspired by "The Fireball Run"
When Winning the 2007 US Nationals, Runner up at the fall Nationals in Dallas, being a Semifinalist in Las Vegas and Ranking number seven in the world, I thought it couldn’t get any better. Then, I received a phone call from the State of Louisiana, wanting to interview me about my success. They were looking for someone to represent Louisiana and its tourism in a cross country race to help find missing and exploited children. It was called “The Fire Ball Run”, my heart was bursting with pride and I said, “It would be an honor to do so.”
Fireball Run was a 3,500 mile journey from Baton Rouge, Louisiana to Grand Rapides, Michigan, with forty teams and a missing child’s photo on each performance car. The pictures of the children on the cars worked better than I could have imagined. The interaction of these cars scrambling back and forth throughout each city, trying to find iconic marquees, with fans watching all of this exciting action brought attention to the light of missing children.
