"I'm really glad they asked me to get involved. Cancer is an awful disease that affects so many lives in a negative way. Having the opportunity to support good people like the Millers, who are providing many people who have been affected by cancer a cause to rally around is something we are very grateful for."
-Scott Braun (CEO Performance Bodies)
"I have been actively involved with Karsyn's Krusaders this racing season and can tell you it is one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. The entire Miller family holds a dear place in my heart. Nobody should have to go through what they have and yet they are turning it into such a positive thing. Please help us spread the word about cancer awareness and join in the crusade."
-Kathy Link – Pit Entrance at Marshalltown Speedway
"I should Thank you! The experience that you guys are going through and the path you have chosen in your battle is truly inspiring! Life deals us cards and we are left to play too many to hold, but through the grace of God there are individuals that double down. I am blessed with a healthy family but tomorrow that could change. I pray each day it doesn't, but vow to stand beside those who decide to fight."
-Dave Buss
"In 2007 our three-year-old son had a testicular tumor that was cancerous. On Aug 13, 2010 at Marshalltown Speedway, he attended the race with me in the pits. Afterwards, his grandparents gave him a t-shirt from Karsyn's Krusaders. He thinks it's awesome! With great doctors and help from God, we can all be winners. Our thoughts and prayers are with Karsyn and your family. It's people like you that make a difference!"
-Neal & Kristin (Flander Race Team)
