Winners of '17 Power For Lascorz' helmet live the Monza dream

World Super Bikes - Fri, 05/17/2013 - 21:58

17 Power For Lascorz

After the paralysis suffered by former Kawasaki Racing Team rider Joan Lascorz, an online auction of Tom Sykes' specially painted '17 Power For Lascorz' crash helmet was won by British couple, and long-time Tom Sykes fans, Colin and Sharon Williams. The winning bid of £8,100UK (€9,702 Euros at that time), was passed onto Joan Lascorz to aid his rehabilitation process and, as part of the prize, Colin and Sharon were invited into the heart of the KRT squad at the recent Monza World Superbike race weekend.


Colin Williams was blown away by the experience of becoming part of the team itself for the Monza round, and the couple's weekend was rounded off by receiving two massive 'goody bags' of Kawasaki and racing team merchandise to take home as a set of souvenirs of a memorable weekend away. Said Colin, shortly before watching Tom Sykes score two fabulous podiums on raceday, "This has been an unbelievable race weekend. It is like rock and roll for us and I feel lost for words. The experience of coming to the race as guests of the official Kawasaki team is something else."


"We got what we asked for in bidding for and winning the Lascorz helmet," he added, "but at Monza we did not expect any of this and, to be fair, it was not simply about owning the helmet. Our 21-year-old son Andrew has cerebral palsy and is in a wheelchair, so we are very aware of the realities of disability. We followed the Kawasaki team at first because of Tom, but when we found out that Joan had been seriously hurt in a testing accident and, as events unfolded, paralysed, it does have an impact on how you feel."


"Sharon and myself are touched that there is such a level of concern for Joan's welfare and delighted that the money went to such a good cause. Of course, we both wish Joan all the best for his future. For us it has truly been the experience of a lifetime. We have the helmet at home in pride of pace and literally hundreds of happy memories of a weekend we will never, ever forget."
