Mitchell International’s Lapping for Leukemia racing team, powered by the company’s charitable works program called (m)Community, is once again hitting the track for the 24 Hours of LeMons race. Mitchell team members Beau Sullivan, Lee Phillippi, David Meadow, John Foster, Michael Carteron and Brian Bragg will compete in the grueling 24-hour trial of endurance for cars valued less than $500 at the Buttonwillow Raceway Park, June 3-July 1.
The Lapping for Leukemia racing team’s goal is to complete as many laps as possible in their 1979 BMW 528i while simultaneously driving donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, a cause they’re passionate about. Teammate John Foster’s son was diagnosed with leukemia at age two. As the young boy underwent painful daily chemotherapy treatments and frequent hospital stays, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society provided him with unending support.
"The 24 Hours of LeMons race is an exciting way for us to help build awareness and support for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, in honor of all the children who bravely battle these devastating cancers," said Beau Sullivan, Mitchell’s senior director of user experience and Lapping for Leukemia teammate. "We’re all thrilled to be a part of this effort and appreciate any donations to the cause."
