Chris Hacker and Brachial Plexus injuries

A Brachial Plexus injury is essentially nerve damage. For Chris Hacker, it affects his left arm where he has very limited movement. For a guy that drives cars for a living, it makes it even more impressive what he is able to accomplish in motorsports.

During his time as a driver, Hacker has raised money for children facing the same injury as him. He has paid for 50 kids to attend a camp focused on the disability and the camp is something that helped Hacker during his childhood as well.
