The fund was originally established in Justin’s memory to support the children he left behind – Alanna & Nathan. But since Alanna and Nathan have not needed any of the funds raised, we continue to keep Justin’s memory alive by helping other families who have suffered a similar loss and whose support system may not be as strong as Justin’s. Keeping Justin’s memory alive is very important to us. Jus
tin touched many people during his lifetime. His strong personality and love of life was as contagious as his smile. But Justin’s road wasn’t always an easy one. In August of 2002, while performing professional street bike stunts, Justin suffered a head injury that almost took his life. After months of hospitalization, rehabilitation and multiple surgeries Justin made a miraculous recovery. Justin went on to marry and have two beautiful children, a legacy he would leave behind just 9 years later when a fatal motor vehicle accident claimed his life. We often think it’s cruel to lose someone twice, but we are grateful for the babies he’s left behind. That’s why this fund is so important to Justin’s family – it’s keeping his memory alive by helping those that may not be as fortunate as we have been or have the same support system we’ve been blessed with. We need your help to continue this mission and to keep Justin’s spirit alive. We all learned many things from Justin during the time he was with us, but the most important lesson he left us with is to ‘live life throttle wide open’.
