Episode 61: Racing, Research and Raising Funds with Mickelina and Mark Monico

Following in her father's footsteps, Mickelina has been racing  cars for the last two years and is looking forward to her third season. Mark Monico started racing when he was very young and even enjoyed racing go-karts at the historic Baylands race track here in Fremont.

Years ago, Mark was diagnosed with cancer, and it was through that experience that he saw the need to raise money to help fund ongoing research in that field of study. Mark started Race for Research several decades ago and has been very successful in his fund raising endeavors.

For various reasons, Mark found racing to be unsustainable as a way of life and the opportunities to raise funds for St. Jude research became more unrealistic as well. However, in the summer of 2022, Mickelina brought new life and energy to Race for Research and it was reborn.

Race for Research will be hosting a special Celebrity Waiter Dinner to again help raise funds for St. Judes and cancer research. You can learn more about that and register here.
