Driver races to fight breast cancer

Lindsey Adams, a driver from Texas, almost lost her mother to breast cancer twice. She raises awareness about breast cancer survivors, including her mother, on her race car. Her story will be part of DIRECTV's "Hometown Heroes," on Sunday night for Mothers Day.
Joan Lunden hosts an episode about Adams' program, called Survivors Circle, which started in 2007 and consists of placing the names of cancer survivors on her race car.
"When I was 17, I almost lost my mother, for the second time, to breast cancer," Adams said. "At that point I knew I wanted to dedicate my career to fighting for the cause. We started Survivors’ Circle, a program where at every race we honor a breast cancer survivor or a family that has fought the breast cancer fight by putting their names on my car and dedicating that particular race to them.”"
