IFMA Freestyle Motorcross Visits Cincinnati Children's
CINCINNATI – On Friday, February 8, at noon, IFMA Freestyle Motorcross riders Jimmie McGuire and Chris Denison, two of the top "extreme" riders in the nation, will visit patients and sign autographs at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center's teen unit (location H, 5th floor).
"Many of our adolescent patients are interested in 'extreme' sports, such as motorcross, and enjoy the sport on television," says Sharon McLeod, child life director at Cincinnati Children's. "A visit from Jimmie and Chris will bring excitement to everyone at the hospital."
