Racing participants from both Woodbine Mohawk Park and The Raceway at Western Fair District are stepping up in support of Kristy Dustin this evening.
Drivers/trainers and owners will be donating a portion of their earnings in support of the 33-year-old.
Kristy, the daughter of longtime horsemen Greg and his wife Doreen Dustin, was diagnosed with breast cancer this past summer and is currently undergoing treatment. Kristy and husband Matt share two young daughters, Abbigael, 9, and Kamryn, 3.
Kristy has already begun treatment which will continue for the next six to eight months followed by another surgery.

“Everyone is encouraged to participate,” organizer Shannon Henry said. “It’s so wonderful to see the racing community come together for a great cause. We can’t thank everyone enough and certainly appreciate all the support.”
Personal cheques and cash donations will also be accepted from participants.
