Ex-Marine In Raffle For His Life

Chuck Campbell needs two new lungs.

The former Marine, a Milfdord, Del. father of four, has Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), which has cost him 80 percent of his lung capacity. Just walking around is difficult, he told Early Show co-anchor Harry Smith Tuesday. Campbell, 45, used to smoke, and is hooked up to an oxygen supply at all times.

But he says his health insurance carrier would only pick up about $80,000 of the estimated $550,000 tab for the surgery. Post-op care could almost double that if there are any complications.

So, his family and friends started a raffle to get the money to cover the cost.

The two grand prizes -- donated in part by the owner of the car dealership he works for: a new Mercedes Benz SL convertible, and a golf course townhouse in Sarasota, Fla.
