Sept. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Earlier this year, marketing communications professional, Shar-day Campbell was moved by the true story of a paralyzed football player, Rasul “Rocky” Clark.

ROCKY CLARK’S STORY
16-year-old Rasul “Rocky” Clark, a running back at Eisenhower High School in Blue Island, IL, was paralyzed from the neck down during a game in September 2000. Now the 26-year-old, who recently gained admission to college, must battle an insurance giant after outliving the coverage of his high school health insurance policy that was supposed to be for “LIFE.”

After donating to his family financially, Campbell felt that God was calling her to do more by using her background in marketing communications to generate awareness and support for Clark.  Campbell’s opportunity to do so came when she contacted the TV One Network about casting for its new series, “Will to Live.” This series features real stories told from the point-of-view of individuals who have faced life-threatening and life-changing ordeals.

Acting on her desire to help Rocky, she pitched his story to the TV One Network.  As a result, the show’s producers confirmed that his remarkable story of survival, courage and determination will be highlighted on “Will to Live.”

“I believe that human beings are called to do two things—worship and serve,” said marketing communications professional, Shar-day Campbell. “After this experience, I am encouraging everyone to use their gifts/talents to be a blessing to someone else.”

Rocky’s episode is set to air nationally Sunday, September 25th at 8:00 p.m. EST/7:00 p.m. CST. A teaser for his episode is available via http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mb7UcDiwpmk.
