American Honda’s participation in the Moto2 class at the 2010 Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix this August will help benefit kids with brain tumors. Honda’s team will be led by Kevin Schwantz, the 1993 500cc Grand Prix World Champion, who will also be the lead rider in the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation® (PBTF) Ride for Kids® Lap of Champions. This fundraising event takes place after Moto GP qualifying rounds at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Aug. 28. Schwantz and his Moto2 team will field a Honda-powered Moriwaki MD600 ridden by wildcard entry Roger Lee Hayden, with support from Kevin Erion and his technicians at Erion Racing. The bike livery will include the PBTF Ride for Kids® logo, and the American Honda Indy GP Moto2 team will also represent the charity through special fundraising activities. “We are excited and honored to be featured as part of Honda’s Moto2 endeavor,” said Dianne Traynor, president of the PBTF. “As the presenting sponsor of Ride for Kids® since 1991, Honda has stood by our foundation and supported our work for children for decades. Being part of something this visible will help us raise awareness of our programs.” About the PBTF Ride for Kids® The national Ride for Kids® program and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation® (PBTF) promote childhood brain tumor research and provide family support through free literature about brain tumors, educational newsletters, online conferences and college scholarships.
