Gabe Tesch is a 16-year-old racer who has been on the track for the last three years. He competes up and down the west coast, has won three local championships, a first-place finish and qualified fourth at the International Karting Federations Grand Nationals. However, his future hasn’t always looked so bright. When Gabe was 11 years old he was diagnosed with brain cancer. Through his ordeal of 48 consecutive days of proton radiation, 48 weeks of chemotherapy, and a lot of challenging times Gabe made the decisions “God didn’t get me through this brain cancer so I could have a normal life.” And so racing was a course he embarked on to build a life of meaning and excitement.
