Chalmers' foundation donated $25,000 to the LMH Endowment Association to help establish the specialty shop for cancer patients. Douglas, who has a rare lung disease, is one of Chalmers' biggest fans. After a story about Michael appeared in the Lawrence-Journal World in 2009, the Miami Heat flew Michael and his family down to see Chalmers in action.
