Law Shares Race Experience with Phoenix Children's Hospital
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Phoenix, Arizona (April 17, 2001) - Grand American Rolex Sports Car Series driver, Darren Law visited the children at the Phoenix Children's Hospital on Monday. With helmet and fire suit in hand, Law explained to more than 30 kids what it is like to be behind the wheel of the #81 G&W Motorsports "poke-a-dot" Porsche.
"Being a father of two, I love to be around kids," Law said. "I wanted to take the race experience to the kids who aren't able to make it out to the track."
Law will be visiting children's hospitals in Grand Am race cities throughout the remainder of the season. The involvement with the children's hospitals is done in conjunction with The Jennifer Fund, a charity established by one of the G&W Motorsports team owners, Steve Marshall and Children's Medical Center at the University of Virginia. The fund, which helps raise awareness for children with cancer and other blood diseases, was started after Marshall's daughter, Jennifer, was diagnosed with leukemia (she is in remission).
"I am honored to be involved with The Jennifer Fund," Law said. "It's a great cause and I am happy to help out in any way I can."
Law will be giving rides to outpatient children and their families on Saturday at Phoenix International Raceway prior to the Sun Automotive 200.
