Former AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Champion and AMA Hall of Famer Scott Summers suffers a devastating loss; Gofundme campaign established.
A Gofundme campaign has been established to aid five-Time AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country Champion and AMA Hall of Fame inductee Scott Summers and his wife Amanda, who were victims of a devastating fire that destroyed their Kentucky home on July 6.
While there were no injuries, the house, shown above, was a complete loss. In the aftermath, Summers’ sister, Brooke Summers-Perry released the following message, encouraging friends and fans to donate to the Gofundme campaign:
“Scott and Amanda Summers, my brother and sister in-law lost their home to a fire this weekend. To them it was the base from which they fortified their peace and strength that everyone they pass benefits from. For the family, it was the home we grew up in, gathered in for holidays and vacation visiting. It was so much more than that, because of the charitable way they lived in it–taking each of us in at various challenging times in our lives. The two of them have spent most of their lives engaging their choice to contribute and support others. I would love to show them the support they’ve spent their lives giving others. Many of us within the family and beyond would say, ‘I don’t know where I would have ended up if they hadn’t helped me (my family) get back on my feet.’
“We are so grateful that everyone got out in time. They are dealing with this with gratitude, strength, resilience, and if you know them you’ll understand this, their resilience is wrapped in humility and humor. A house can be rebuilt. Your support is most appreciated.”
Summers won the 1990, 1991 and 1992 AMSOIL Grand National Cross Country championships, earning a reputation an ironman because he rode Honda’s weighty XR600R four-stroke against riders on much lighter motorcycles. Summers would add two more GNCC titles to his resume, in 1996 and 1997. He also earned four AMA Hare Scrambles National Championships, in 1990, 1991, 1993 and 1995, and he collected three gold medals while competing for the U.S. team at the International Six Days Enduro.
