A teenage girl is pursuing her dream on the racetrack, while reaching out to help others.

Becca Thiry, 15, races weekly at Luxemburg Speedway, but this year, she has decided to race for children who suffer from cancer.

Thiry has had people, who know someone affected by cancer in anyway, sign a ribbon and place it on her car.

Then at the end of her season, Thiry plans to auction off the panels of her car and donate the money from the sales to "Families of Children with Cancer".

"I couldn't imagine having cancer" said Becca Thiry. "I can't imagine going through it and what they go through. I couldn't imagine it."
