Background
Murfreesboro’s 10-year-old Chase Donnell was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma in August, 2007. Following his diagnosis, he spent very little time out of the hospital. During his illness, he inspired numerous individuals and organizations with his courage and strength.

In November, 2007 Chase learned he could have a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation®.  He said ‘I can pretty much get anything I want, so maybe I should do something for somebody else.” Chase especially loved his gym class at Walter Hill Elementary School, so he decided on this wish: To renovate his school gym for his classmates.His wish was granted within a week of his request. Sadly, Chase passed away before seeing the renovated gym – but his inspiring legacy will live on to make many more children’s wishes come true.

On Sunday, October 5th, viewers across America will see this compelling story of the impact of one 10-year-old’s extraordinary sense of sharing. Chase’s story so inspired the Baker-Curb Racing team, that they have produced a 30-minute documentary “The Unselfish Wish” on their new RFD-TV television series Music and Motors.
