Mason Duchesne had just a 1% chance of surviving after being born with severe congenital heart disease, but he hasn't hit the brakes yet and is living life to its fullest!

Duchesne started a non-profit organization, Galo Racing, to raise money and pay for equipment that will help other kids with similar diagnoses get into the motorsport.
