Fundraiser for Christine's funeral expenses

On November 20th 2023 the dirt bike family lost one of our own. Christine Rappleyea had lived, and lived well, with her Stage Four Metastatic Breast Cancer Diagnosis for over five years and on Monday morning decided it was time for her to rest.

So many of us were touched by her sunlight, inspired by her drive and humbled by the strength of this young lady who carried an unimaginable burden with so much grace. We all marveled at how she lived her life with no excuses. No matter how she felt, she pursued her passions with devotion, tenacity and unrelenting determination. She did all of this while maintaining her warmth and compassion towards her friends, fellow riders and competitors.

She leaves behind not only her immediate family and friends, but her extended moto family that is grieving her deeply. We all would like to offer her the send off she deserves, one that will honor the good life that she lived. A day just for her that will acknowledge the many people she has impacted through living her very best life until the end with kindness, gentleness and a kind of strength that most of us will never witness again in our lives.

This is our opportunity to send back some of the love that she has sent out to the world in the 33 years we were blessed to have her. Please consider sending a donation over to help cover the services and burial for Christine. A little bit from many adds up to a lot, and together we can remind her loved ones that truly no one fights alone and we are still here, sharing the weight of this inconceivable loss shoulder to shoulder alongside them. Let’s show Christine one more time just how much we love her and appreciate how much she enriched all of our lives, thank you.
