Help Bart Colon Heal After Life-Saving Surgery

Donation protected
WE AROUND RACING, FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF BART COLON


Are reaching out to support our dear friend Bart Colon, who recently underwent emergency open-heart surgery after suffering a dissecting aortic aneurysm—a condition that could have taken his life had he not made it to the hospital in time.


Doctors were able to repair the aneurysm, replace his aortic valve, and place a clip to manage a potential risk of atrial fibrillation. To perform this life-saving procedure, they had to fully open his chest. While we are beyond grateful that Bart is still with us, he now faces a long, difficult road to recovery.


Bart will be out of work for at least 12 weeks as he heals. During this time, he’ll need help covering bills, medical costs, and day-to-day expenses. We’re setting a goal of $15,000 to help ease this burden and allow Bart to focus fully on healing.


If you know Bart, you know he is the kind of person who would give you the shirt off his back. A devoted partner, father, brother, uncle, and loyal friend—Bart has always been there for others. Now it’s our turn to be there for him.


Any amount you can give will go a long way. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this campaign and keeping Bart in your thoughts and prayers.


Thank you for your support
