FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FULLERTON,
CA (September 21, 2009)
– Brad Lackey
has produced a broadband viral video on
YouTube about how viewers around the world
can help him and his motocross friends raise
funds to build and purchase a custom,
modified van for 1982 Motocross and Trophee
des Nations Champion Danny "Magoo"
Chandler.
The video
provides some fun background on Brad's
history with Danny racing in northern
California as well as Danny's
accomplishments and his tragic accident at
the Paris Supercross in 1985. Brad also
explains how Danny is helping new and
younger motorcycle riders learn to ride
safely yet his own transportation is sorely
needing replacement in order for him to keep
doing what he is doing. There is great
footage from Danny's DVD "Magoo-The Story of
Danny Chandler" as well as photos of the
type of van Brad and friends are working
towards. Between $75,000 and $100,000 is
needed to complete the project and set up
the necessary maintenance and insurance
funds. Almost a quarter of it has been
raised so far.
"Jody Weisel
at Motocross Action magazine suggested this
idea could be a way to reach a larger
audience and we all said 'Yeah, let's do
it!', said Brad Lackey. “Our hope is this
goes around the world, reaching many of the
fans and industry people who Danny touched
with his incredible riding ability and
personality. We encourage everyone who knows
Danny and knows people who know Danny, to
send the video link.” Lackey added.
The video has information on
how to donate through traditional means as
well as the internet though www.LegendsAndHeroesTour.org.
It also announces an eBay auction, featuring memorabilia
from riders Bob Hannah, David Bailey, Tony DiStefano, Jim Holley, Jason Lawrence, Davi
Millsaps, Brad himself, and more.
