American Le Mans Series presented by Tequila Patrón drivers Ed Brown from Extreme Speed Motorsports and Ryan Dalziel from JaguarRSR, along with Cooper Tire Prototype Lites contender Gary Gibson revealed lessons learned from behind the wheel Saturday at the Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children in Orlando Fla.

Featuring the popular Xbox game Forza Motorsport 3, several “young drivers”, who are dealing with pediatric cancer, became champions on the digital streets of the Americas while the Series’ drivers spoke about the secret of racing – as well as the secret of life.

The secret? Keep your eyes focused on where you want to go.

In racing this means to watch the road ahead and visualize where the car is destined.

In life this means to envision your future and aspire to reach it.

This single notion is what made Brown, Dalziel and Gibson elite in their field as well as prepare them for the 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring presented by Fresh from Florida on Saturday, March 20.

All smiles at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children, in support of the Austin Hatcher Foundation.

Ed Brown, Ryan Dalziel and Gary Gibson take a pit stop to talk to children about sports car racing.

The Austin Hatcher Foundation for a carefree childhood was formed in 2006 after Amy Jo and Jim Osborn lost their infant son Hatch to a rare form of pediatric cancer.  The foundation’s mission is to support research towards the diagnosis, treatment and development of a cure for pediatric cancer, and to provide support and hope to children and families undergoing treatment as well as those who have lost children due to cancer.  The foundation has developed a landmark group of programs and services essential to help cancer stricken children and their families function within their community.  These services are provided to families free of charge.
