During an autograph session near Kansas City, driver Ward Burton met a boy named Dusty Duncan who needs surgery on a cleft lip.
Burton sent a security guard to find the boy and his parents after the autograph session to inquire about what Burton could do to help Dusty and his sister, Angie, who also has the condition.
After a Kansas City newspaper ran a story about the meeting and Burton's offer, the Shriners Hospitals for Children in Tampa, Fla., contacted Burton and offered to do the surgery for both children and do whatever they could to assist in treatment.
Fans interested in making donations in the Duncan childrens' names could send the money to their local Shriners group or mail it to the hospital at 2900 Rocky Point Drive, Tampa, Fla. 33607-1460.
