B&C Morning Show: Grizz Chapman Talks About The Importance Of Organ Donation
From Boomer & Carton | CBS New York

Grizz Chapman is a big man, a very big man. With that said, the 6’10″ Chapman stopped by the Allstate Studio this morning to promote “Organ Angels,” a non-profit organization he started to raise awareness for organ donation.
Grizz is an actor and he can be seen on NBC’s “30 Rock,” playing one of Tracy Morgan’s sidekicks on the Emmy Award winning sitcom. He has also suffered from hypertension for the last 13 years and received a kidney transplant back in July of 2010. Chapman serves as the spokesperson for the “National Kidney Foundation.”

He joined Boomer & Craig to talk about the importance of organ donation, a cause dear to his and Boomer’s heart. Boomer is well aware of just how important organ donation is, having a son of his own who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis and may need a lung transplant at some point down the road…
