From his Facebook. Please send him your prayers.

Jason Soudrette


It is with a heavy heart that I must inform everyone that I cannot participate in the 2013 racing season. As many of you know, I have battled a bone marrow disease defined as MDS since 2010. I was informed on Wed. that the disease has progressed into Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). The doctors want to attack this cancer as soon as possible with extensive chemo treatments starting this Fri. I will need to spend the next 4 weeks at University of Cincinnati Hospital. In the meantime, the doctors will coordinate a bone marrow transplant that will start soon after this initial treatment. The road ahead of me is definitely going to be an uphill battle, but I will overcome this hurdle and return to racing.

Have entered you on 5 prayer list Jason, it's my prayer you pull through on this. My wife has beat cancer twice now I just beat it myself. I hope you have a good support group to help you through this, we did. Keep us updated here will you, I'd like to know how you do. Maybe I'll see you at the Fremont NW race

I have been a bone marrow donor for some 15 + years. Even though I have not been matched to someone I would have done it in a heartbeat. But now at my age I can not be a donor anymore. I would encourage people to consider being a donor. You never know who may need it. Prayers to the Soudrette family
