Tragically, he died on March 3 this year, just three days short of his 14th birthday.
Rockhampton BMX Club president Scott Bone said riders attending on Friday night would be given a pink ribbon to wear.
“Pink was Ethan’s favourite colour and the riders will be able to attach the ribbons to their helmets or their handlebars,” he said.
“I’m sure they will be happy to wear them all weekend, especially the riders coming from Moranbah.
“This is a wonderful way to remember Ethan and to do our bit to help others fighting blood cancers.” Anaya Whitehead will be among a strong Rockhampton contingent on track at this weekend’s 2021 Rocky Rumble.

VALLEY BROOK, Okla. -
A woman recalled the moment she got to the scene of a crash that killed a man she calls a son.

For Chandra Wood, Jaime Lujan was her son s best friend, and like a son to her.
She said the two friends along with another neighbor were in a pickup when they were rammed by a speeding car.
