Friday, March 30, 2007, the World Off Road Championship Series (WORCS) youth group visited HRMC patients. This marked the second, consecutive WORCS visit to Holy Rosary. WORCS is an off road racing organization complied of racers throughout the midwest and western states. They compete at Clay Peaks Motocross Park in Payette annually. A group of 15 racers, WORCS owner - Pepper Reddish, the WORCS Kids (youth group) Coordinator - Teresa Morros, and the Series Chaplin, all arrived at the hospital to visit patients. The youth group consisted of boys and girls, ages ranging from eight to eighteen. A professional racer also accompanied the group and autographed gifts for patients, 19 year old Ricky Dietrich from Phoenix, AZ. WORCS Kids all piled into patient rooms to spend some time and wish them well. Patients were appreciative of the kids making an effort to visit and spend time talking with them. The group gave patients WORCS racing gifts (t-shirts, posters, stickers, etc.). Before leaving each patient, the series Chaplain conducted a prayer in which the entire group participated. The WORCS racers and mentors also left extra gifts to give to future HRMC patients. The visits were well received and brightened HRMC patients’ hospital stays! We look forward to the group returning again in 2008. Shown below are some of athletes and their mentors as they visited patients:
Holy Rosary Medical Center wishes to thank this fine group of young athletes and their mentors for taking the time to come and visit patients. Their cheerful presence brightened the day and touched the hearts of many.
