He shares the story of how a pediatric oncology nurse named Angelina won the Miss Vintage MOTOBLOT 2022 pageant and expressed her desire to help children with cancer. Through a collaboration with Motorcycle Knuckle Busters and Kirsh Helmets, they decided to auction off a specially designed helmet to raise funds for Curing Kids Cancer.

The hosts express their gratitude to all the supporters and emphasize the importance of saving children's lives through these fundraising efforts. They also discuss the possibility of sharing their story on NBC to reach a wider audience and continue making a difference.
