Ruapuna Speedway would like to share that a Give a Little page has been set up to support Kevin Ban and his family.

Kevin was the driver involved in the Sprintcar accident on Saturday, March 8th. He remains in serious but stable condition in the ICU at Middlemore Hospital in Auckland.

Kevin and his family have a long road ahead. Being based in Wellington and Christchurch, they face travel costs to be with him. Kevin is also self-employed, and won’t be able to work for some time. Many of you will know Kevin as the man behind Horsepower Heads. Since its establishment in 2016, his business has supported speedway. His previous business did the same.

All donations go directly to Kevin and his family to cover expenses during his treatment and recovery. Unused donations will be set aside as an emergency fund for future motorsport incident victims. The family is incredibly grateful for the kind words and support they have received during this difficult time.

If you can, please donate and share this post. Let’s come together as a speedway community to show Kevin and his family how much they are loved and supported.

You can find the link to donate here https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/support-kevins-recovery
