Sundance Vacations Speedway- Awesome Asphalt Racing in The Pocono Foothills

Come Out to the Mountain Madness Enduro and Help Support the Tracy Family

January 13, 2009

Cheryl Tracy of Freeland was a loving and devoted mother, wife with four children, including a 13-year-old daughter Stephanie. She worked in the cafeteria of the Freeland Elementary School were the kids absolutely adored her, and Cheryl never missed a basketball or little league game her daughter played in. In November of 2009 Cheryl suddenly became ill and she went to the doctor with abdominal pain. Unexpectedly, she had to undergo extensive surgery. Cheryl was given the news that would change her and her family's life forever. SHE HAD CANCER!!

With her husband, children and friends by her side, Cheryl was released from the hospital the day before Thanksgiving. Cheryl's husband, Rob, an active Staff Sergeant in the US Army who has served 3 tours of duty over seas, took a leave of absence to be by his wife's side.

In mid-December Cheryl began having complications and was admitted back into the hospital where she spent Christmas and her daughter's 13^th birthday. Cheryl was then notified that the cancer had spread and there was nothing further they could do. However, Cheryl and Rob Tracy weren't ready to give up. Cheryl was released from the hospital and their fight against cancer begun.

In early January, Cheryl became ill and was rushed to the hospital before being transferred to the University of Pennsylvania Hospital. The cancer had spread rapidly throughout her body. At one point it was said there was nothing they could do for her and she would come home with Hospice Care.

On January 11^th, Cheryl was informed that the doctors weren’t sure what type of cancer she had. She would then begin chemotherapy treatments and they would run more tests.

Unfortunately, Cheryl lost her battle and passed away on January 20.

The Tracy family is friends of Bill Rice, a veteran Mountain Madness enduro racer. To help support the family, Sundance Vacations Speedway will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the upcoming enduro on February 27 to the Tracy’s.

Together, and with added donations and support, everyone can help do something great for the Tracy family and possibly help relieve some of the stress from their huge loss and the accumulating bills and household costs during this tough time.
