Expanding its mission of leveraging the motorcycle community to benefit the lives of children in need, Racing 2 Save Lives will sponsor The Children's Hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Conference in January 2010, at the hospital's main campus in Aurora, Colo.

The TCH EMS Conference is a multi-day event designed to teach first responders (EMT's and paramedics) concentrated pediatric emergency medicine, so that they can better help the children they respond to in the field. Some 200 responders from across the Rocky Mountain Region will attend the conference. They'll immediately be able to put into practice the knowledge gained from this invaluable training, to positively affect the outcomes for children under their care.

"As an EMT myself, I feel it's vitally important for responders to know how kids are different, and to understand the challenges they can present," commented R2SL President Ralph Forsythe. "As a parent, it's gratifying to play a role in making this kind of education available in the community, and to see so many dedicated professionals availing themselves of this specialized training."

R2SL organizers are in the planning stages for additional charity events in 2010. For more information on participating or volunteering, visit R2SL's web site at www.racing2savelives.org or call 303-767-RACE. Fans can also keep up with R2SL on Facebook, MySpace and Twitter.

Racing 2 Save Lives is a 501(c)3 charity that operates unique track-day events for motorcyclists, with proceeds donated to deserving children's charities in the communities where R2SL takes place. Since its founding in 2004, R2SL has donated $263,000 to charity.
