Route Announced for Race for Research Road Rally with David Ragan

The LuMind Research Down Syndrome Foundation announces the route for its three-day road rally to raise funds for Down syndrome cognition research. Co-chaired by NASCAR driver David Ragan and his wife, Jacquelyn, the road rally features teams of decaled cars visiting “pit-stops” throughout the Carolinas, completing scavenger hunt tasks, delving into NASCAR history, and meeting racing legends and current drivers.

The Ragans join LuMind RDS Foundation to help improve opportunities for people with Down syndrome. David Ragan’s older brother, Adam, was born with an extra chromosome: Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome.

 

“Cognition research for Down syndrome has made tremendous strides over the last few years, and these new discoveries are now fueling several promising clinical trials,” David Ragan said. “But a lack of funding is a major reason why my brother and the more than 250,000 Americans living with Down syndrome don’t have access to treatments yet.”

 

Join the fun! Sign up your team now and experience the thrills of NASCAR racing while you raise funds for important cognitive development research. For more information on the Race for Research and to sign up for a team or donate to an event participant, visit LuMindRaceforResearch.org.
