Recent Heart Transplant Recipient to Race at Infineon Raceway in Support of Coalition on Donation

--Chambers Corvette Racing Team to Participate in SPEED World Challenge Race This Weekend

WHAT: 

Just four months ago, Wendell Chambers received a new heart at
Stanford University Medical Center. This weekend, only days after
receiving his doctors'clearance, Chambers will take center stage at
the SCAA SPEED World Challenge GT and Touring car races at Infineon
Raceway in Sonoma, CA. In tribute to the organization that helped save
his life, the Chambers Corvette Team will feature the logo of the
Coalition on Donation (www.shareyourlife.org). The Coalition on
Donation is a not-for-profit alliance of national and local
organizations across the United States, dedicated to inspiring all
people to donate life through organ and tissue donation. Heart
recipient Wendell Chambers said, "I am a very grateful individual who
was near death when I got my new heart. I have a totally new
perspective on life and would like to do whatever I can to help others
in need."

This is remarkable story of a man who got another chance at life
and is continuing to live it at it's fullest. He will be available for
on-site interviews at Infineon Raceway all weekend.

WHY:

The Chambers Corvette Racing Team is partnering with The Coalition
on Donation to promote awareness of the importance of organ and tissue
donation. More than 85,000 men, women and children are currently
waiting for a life-saving organ transplant. One-third of these people
- approximately 17 per day - will die before an organ becomes
available due to lack of available organs.
