Chapter 4 Racing For a good Cause
After sitting up all night talking to his Uncle Jessie, Luke, and Daisy, Bo finally came up with an idea that might work. "You know, you see things like this happening all the time on tv and soaps. And usually people do charitys or concert events to raise money for sick kids". said Bo.
Luke then spoke up "Why don't we have a Race? We can race Money that way. Then afterwards, we could hold a special concert for anyone who has talent in the area. That can raise Money to".
Daisy's eyes lit up "That's a wonderful idea! I've also called around and I found a great Hospital that treats things like Brain Tumors. It's Saint Jude's Hospital up in Tennesee. She could go there".
"That's a brilliant idea when is her first appointment Daisy?" asked Bo. He looked at his cousin.
"It's this weekend with Dr Moore." she said "He's going to run some tests and figure out where we need to go from here".
Bo smiled "Well, it looks like we definately got a plan going on here. I just have to tell Megan all this in the morning." The Dukes all agreed and went to bed that night satified with what they came up with.
That following weekend, The Dukes had all arrived at the Charity race. Megan sat on the bleachers with Daisy and Uncle Jessie . Bo and Luke had brought their stock car, and had entered it in the race.
Bo got up to the podium explaining to the town why they were having the race. "It's for my younger sister Megan to get treatment for this disease that's threatening her life. I want my sister to live a full healhy life".
The audience clapped proudly. Everyone loved seeing a brother trying to do some good for his sister and everyone wanted to help out
Megan sat in the bleachers with Daisy, Uncle jessie, and the rest of the crowd. They sat and watched Bo and Luke race in the General Lee. After 20 laps, the race came to and end, and Bo and Luke won.
Everyone cheered for Bo and Luke Duke. At the end of the race, they raised up to 50 million dollars for Bo's sister.
That night they celebrated by going to the Boar's Nest. Daisy served everyone their favorite meal. Even Megan's
"That race was so cool! I wish I could ride in the General!" said Megan all excited now knowing her brother and uncle were racecar drivers.
"Well, if its okay with Bo, we could take you for a spin". said Luke grinning.
"Really?! oh wow! Please Bo, I wanna go for a ride!" Megan begged her brother.
"Okay, just remember one thing, I don't pay attention to rules or speed signs and I drive really fast. If my driving too fast makes you sick you will let me know, right?" he asked.
"Yeah sure!" said Megan all excited.
"Okay then lets go get in the General and take her for a spin". said Bo laughing.
