In August of 2017 Doug Worthing was doing two things he liked to do, driving a race car and helping a friend. Doug, a well-known dirt-track racer, also known as \u201cThe Junkyard Jet,\u201d was driving a vintage race car in an exhibition race at the Tioga County Fair when an equipment malfunction sent the car careening off the track and through a wooden fence. Doug sustained serious burns and a debilitating head injury that has resulted in numerous neurological problems, dietary challenges and a continuous uphill battle for him and his family. <\/p>\n
This beloved friend, husband, father and grandfather has undergone many challenging medical tests and procedures. His family has tirelessly supported him, and this benefit is a way for the community to contribute to their efforts.<\/p>\n
Friends, family and community members are encouraged to attend and help Doug and his family in his continued care and recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
