Sherry Pollex and Martin Truex Jr. shared a profound connection that extended far beyond the racetrack. Their journey began in 2005, blossoming into a strong partnership that yielded the Martin Truex Jr. Foundation in 2007. This foundation had a noble mission: to support children battling cancer, with a particular focus on ovarian and childhood cancers. A disease that ailed her for the longest time.
Martin Truex Jr.’s ex-girlfriend, Sherry Pollex’s own battle with stage III ovarian cancer in 2014 was nothing short of heroic. She faced numerous surgeries and endured over forty chemotherapy sessions. Throughout her arduous struggle, she remained a beacon of hope for countless women facing similar challenges. However, on this somber day, we must bid farewell to a remarkable woman who touched the hearts of many.
In a heartbreaking moment, Sherry Pollex’s family released a statement to share the gut-wrenching news of their loss. Bob Pockrass summed up the sentiment in his tweet to share the news with the community.
