LAKEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Motocross rider Trey Canard is setting up a booth at this weekend’s race to help with relief efforts for the deadly Oklahoma tornado.

Canard, a native of Shawnee, Okla., is working with the Red Cross, Team Honda and MX Sports Pro Racing to set up the booth that will be in the pits at the Thunder Valley Motocross Park on Saturday.

Canard returned to racing this season after breaking his back when a fellow competitor landed on him during a race at Dodger Stadium last year. His mother, Kari, has lived in Oklahoma since 1972 and said she had to duck into the cellar when the tornado came close to her home.

The tornado killed 25 people and damaged about 12,000 homes Monday.
