Thank you so much for the Silly Bandz, signature card and all the thoughts and prayers. Travis is getting better and stronger every day. We hung his card on the wall in his room. He told me it really helps him to know how many people care about him.

Growing up in central Pennsylvania, Bobbi spent her life at the track around 410 sprint cars.
