Halloween Costumes For Kids In Wheelchairs
This might be the best story I have heard all year! A guy has a charity that makes costumes for kids in wheelchairs.
According to KCTV5 in Kansas City, there's a 42-year-old artist named Lon Davis who lives in Olathe, Kansas, just outside Kansas City.
And he has an 11-year-old son named Reese, who's he's been in a wheelchair since he was three, because of a tumor on his spine. Fortunately he's in remission now. But eight years ago, Lon made him a sweet Wall-E costume for Halloween that fit OVER his wheelchair.
Then other parents started asking him to make costumes for THEIR kids in wheelchairs. So last year, he started a charity called Walkin' and Rollin' Costumes that makes wheelchair costumes, and gives them away for FREE.
So far, they've done Iron Man, the car from "Dukes of Hazzard", an X-wing fighter from "Star Wars", and a bunch more. They also did an Ant-Man costume this year, where the wheelchair is the ant he rides in the movie.
Apparently they got a ton of requests for this Halloween. But you can request one for NEXT year through their website, WalkinRollin.Org.
