One of the most amazing aspect of Kurt's long and
successful career is the fact that he lost his left leg to
cancer in 1988. Kurt was diagnosed with an
osteosarcoma and had to have an above the knee
amputation. Even with the amputation Kurt was given
only a 30% chance of survival. He underwent 13
months of chemotherapy and through strength and
perseverance Kurt survived.
While in the hospital Kurt designed a unique
prosthetic so that he could shift the race car
flawlessly and continue his racing career. His first
race back was in 1989 at the Mont Tremblant
raceway in the Porsche Turbo Cup Series.

"Hopefully you and your family will
never need treatment as intense as
what I or the Ledoux family have
been through, but many people are
not as lucky, and we all want to
know that a cure is available for
whatever life throws our way," he
said. "Donate today."
