Chris Kyle was a Navy SEAL who tragically lost his life while trying to help a troubled veteran that had just returned from a tour in Iraq. Since his passing in February, Chris' spirit seems to have grown. One example of carrying on Chris' spirit can be found in 6-time World Champion drag boat racer Marty Logan of Midlothian Texas. Logan has dedicated his 2013 racing operation to honor Chris Kyle. To help the Kyle family, Logan is donated 100% of all proceeds from his racing operation from the 2013 racing season - including sponsor money, prize money and merchandise sales. The goal was to reach a total donation for the Chris Kyle family of $100,000 by the end of 2013; and when the season concluded, the goal was reached and a check for over $102,000 was presented to Chris' wife Taya Kyle at the Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series awards banquet in Las Vegas, NV. THANK YOU again to everyone who helped bring awareness and results for Chris' family, it is much appreciated. |
