Corvette Racing transport driver and all-around good guy David James is fighting cancer and he sure could use your help and prayers. This message below from Corvette Racing photographer Richard Prince is making the rounds among Corvette fans and we wanted to help, so I donated to the David James Medical Bills Assistance Fund hosted by GiveSendGo.com and hopefully you can add to that total as well.
Here is the appeal from Richard:
Virtually all of my racing friends know David James, who has been part of Corvette Racing since its beginning, serving as pit crew member, mechanic, and truck driver. Equally important, DJ has been a mentor to younger crew members coming on board, and a true friend to race fans around the world.
He’s the guy who put countless numbers of children into the seat of a Corvette race car and gave them a thrilling memory they will carry forever. He’s the guy who always has a joke to tell, a story to share, and a few minutes to spare for anyone with a question or two. He’s the one who carried on the now-famous train horn-blowing tradition at Le Mans. He’s the one who went out of his way on many occasions to detour while driving the transporter to and from a race to make a surprise visit to the National Corvette Museum or to visit a child who was unwell. Just imagine what it did for a child suffering with a serious illness when a team transporter pulled up to his house, the liftgate came down, and a factory Corvette race car came out!
Since the beginning of the program, DJ has been front and center helping bring Corvette fans from around the world together into one unified family — the Corvette Nation. Now DJ faces a battle against cancer, and though he continues to work while undergoing intensive radiation treatment, mounting medical bills are creating financial stress that is making his struggle to recover that much more difficult. Anyone wishing to help Dave and his wife Denise can do so here:

Get well David! Kick that cancer to the curb because Corvette Racing Takes No Prisoners!

What kind of medical insurance does GM have that this fine man still has medical bills? Does Mary Barra and Mark Reuss know about this situation? David should be getting the finest care available at no expense what so ever to him. GM spends millions on their racing program, this just disgusts me.
Ronnie if mary had her way this entire team would be disbanded or working and staffed by south of the border.
