We are shaving our heads to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So we decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.
Now we need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
Ron Chunn, driver of the C&H Racing NASCAR Late Model No. 44 machine is not only a driver; he is also a husband and a father to three kids, one of which is battling cancer. Ron has three kids with his wife Michelle, Mkenna 17, Raysen 15 and Colton 8 “Cole my hero”. Michelle was very involved for many years before Cole got sick. “I sent Ron to the track when Cole was first diagnosed. Ron would have given up racing at that point, but I told him no”.
The youngest child Colton was continuously sick from Christmas 2008 until finally on May 4, 2009 he was treated for a possible enlarged heart that created breathing problems. Once he was admitted into the hospital a cancer specialist looked at his results and determined it was a cancerous issue. Cole was then transferred to a hospital that treated children with cancer, Sutter of Sacramento. By May 8 2009 Cole was diagnosed with stage 3 lymphoblastic lymphoma and he began chemotherapy immediately. “Cole has been through a lot since he began his treatments from blood transfusions to hair loss and pain, but no matter how bad he got, Cole always smiled making him my hero,” say Ron on Cole’s treatments. Cole had officially finished his last chemo treatment on May 8, 2011 and the family hopes for no relapse.
Ron Chunn and C&H Racing is the culmination of families that hold the love for racing and their family. Look for the sky blue No. 44 Late Model as Chunn drives to a win for his Hero and his son, Colton Chunn.
