IndyCar Racer Jack Hawksworth Visits with Patients at LLUCH

Verizon IndyCar driver Jack Hawksworth visited Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital (LLUCH) Hematology/Oncology Outpatient Clinic in San Bernardino Thursday, June 25. Hawksworth met kids in the clinic, handed out Racing For Kids caps, signed autographs, posed for photos and talked about his passion for racing. One young patient eager to meet the racer was Samuel “Sammy” Ellis, 4, from Lucerne Valley. His mom, Christy Ellis, said Sammy loved everything related to cars. Sammy beamed in his new red cap when Hawksworth showed him a picture of his racecar. Hawksworth said he has been a part of Racing for Kids since 2013, visiting children’s hospitals a couple times a year as his schedule allows. “I get to meet some amazing kids,” Hawksworth stated. “Visiting kids in these hospitals and seeing their faces light up really puts things into perspective. I’m glad I am able to be a part of Racing for Kids.” Racing For Kids is a Detroit-based national charity that uses the popularity of motorsports to focus public awareness and funding on the health care needs of children. Hawksworth will drive the #41 ABC Supply car for A. J. Foyt Racing in the MAVTV 500 at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana on Saturday, June 27.
