Dream Foundation celebrates Winston Cain’s life with a final Nascar Race

Despite being diagnosed with ALS, which has left him paralyzed from the neck down apart from the use of one arm and hand, 71-year-old El Dorado Hills, Calif., resident, Winston Cain, hasn’t stopped dreaming.

Winston has always loved Nascar and car racing, having attended many races throughout his life. Now bed bound, Winston watches Nascar intently every Sunday. He loves to imagine himself as the announcer, “Start your engines!” and dreams of attending one final race with his family.

With support from Autoclub Speedway and Homewood Suites, Dream Foundation will fulfill Winston’s final Dream. Later this month, Winston, his wife, daughter, and son-in-law will enjoy VIP treatment and a special meet and greet with his favorite driver, Chase Elliot at the Fontana Nascar race on March 16th. The foundation will also provide accommodations, a wheelchair accessible van rental and extra travel funds for the trip.

Glory Ariche from Genentech, one of Dream Foundation’s Mission Partners, will serve as “Dream Host” at an intimate gathering on Thursday, March 14th delivering everything that Winston needs for his Dream journey. Also in attendance will be Snowline Hospice’s Rene Hamlin, Jeremy Lansing, and Janice Curtin who referred Winston to the organization’s dream-granting program. Their commitment to Winston has been instrumental in bringing his final Dream to life.
