Andy Dunn's Memorial Race Day

Ends: May 31, 2016

Andy Dunn was the beating heart of the hot rod community, both in Newfoundland and worldwide through the Internet. Diagnosed at a very young age with chordoma, a rare and fatal cancer, Andy and his friends set out to fulfil his dream of owning his very own hot rod. The online “rodder” community reached out and got Andy the body: a 1930 Model A Ford donated by an ER doctor in Saskatchewan. With the help of his friends and father, Andy built and finished his hot rod in time to drive it at the age of 13. He passed away on March 17, 2009, aged 14. Andy’s parents, Chris and Rose Dunn, and the local racing community wanted to do something in his honour. They launched Andy Dunn Memorial Race Day in 2010, raising funds for RMHC Canada.
