OUR STORY
Race to Hear is a project built out of two of my greatest passions: Racing and Hearing. As a hard of hearing kid growing up with profound deafness changed how I viewed the world. While most people take hearing a car go by for granted, I learned to cherish every sound because I knew as soon as I took my hearing aids off… the silence would swallow me again. So with this project I wish to raise $6500 so I can give two pairs of high quality hearing aids to kids in need.
The other passion is racing. I’ve long been a racing fan and especially Formula 1, 2, and 3 along with other series. The allure of speed and the unending curiosity I had for how these things worked drove me to learn everything I could. I dove into academia, watched as many videos as I could, went to every race we could, and raced every opportunity that I got.
This is the ultimate expression of my passion for motorsport. With this project we will show underexposed youth the inner workings of mechanical engineering while giving them the drive to dive into motorsport. Through live demonstrations using Pinewood Derby cars-which they get to keep- I’ll show them what makes a car move, turn, accelerate, and most importantly how to go faster!
Alongside this community outreach we will be collecting donations for the National Hearing Aid Project from those who can afford to give.
