Frankie Rawlins AKA Jughead

From Frankie:

"My name is Frankie Rawlings AKA Jughead. I grew up in Flat River, Missouri which is now Park Hills, Missouri.

About 2-3 years ago I had my gallbladder removed and ever since then I have been fighting diarrhea and severe weight loss. I have lost around 150 pounds since early last year and have to go to the bathroom 7 or 8 times a day. There was a time I was 317 pounds and now I am only 146 pounds.

I am trying to get to the bottom of this so I can start living again and hopefully put some weight back on.

My goal is to get to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota, to the best doctors in the United States to figure out my problem.

My insurance won't cover the treatment at the Mayo clinic... so the only way to make this possible is with some financial assistance."

This disease has consumed Jughead's life. He's not working, and his wife, Joetta, works at Walmart. They are very limited to what they can do financially and their insurance is not willing to help in the way that he needs them to. We want to do everything possible to help him and his family out during this extremely tough time.

Jughead is one of our own, and when one of our own needs help, we find a way to do whatever we can.

For those of you who choose to donate, I want to thank you for helping out someone in need. Whether you are here from the racing community or are just reading this because it was shared to you.. Thank you.

We have set a goal of $50,000 as we do not know how much all of this will cost but it's a starting point.
