🚨WOW!!!!
A 13-year-old boy in Utah has just spent his ENTIRE SUMMER building a custom wheelchair for a 21-month-old baby girl he's never met.
His name is Zac Waters.
He watched a YouTube channel about 3D printing and decided he wanted to do something with it.
So he found MakeGood, a nonprofit that 3D prints assistive devices for people with disabilities, and got to work.
He spent over 300 HOURS, designing, printing, testing. and assembling.
...but he didn't just build a chair, he custom-designed it specifically for her
He custom printed pink accents, because pink is her favorite color.
He built her a removable cupholder and tray table. He designed a space in the back for heavier medical equipment.
He gave her soft, bendable straps so they don't dig into her, he even designed an adjustable footrest and headrest so it grows with her as she does.
When they asked him why he did it, he said it combines his two favorite things in life: 3D printing and helping people in need.
He's THIRTEEN YEARS OLD.
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

A new era begins for us. The Black Jacket.
Starting this year , kids who complete the 50 Yard Challenge will earn a black varsity jacket as a symbol of their hard work, dedication, and service to their community.
The inspiration behind the Black Jacket comes from the tradition of the green jacket awarded at The Masters Tournament, creating a meaningful symbol that represents excellence, commitment, and achievement within our program. Kids get the jackets along with their new equipment .
Kids of previous years that did the challenge , will be able to get one once we secure a sponsor for our jackets. If any company is interested in becoming a sponsor and having your logo on our jackets & shirts please reach out.

Family, I’m hitting the road and heading to the great states of Kansas, Idaho, and Iowa! I’ll be visiting five incredible kids who have completed The 50 Yard Challenge and presenting each of them with a brand-new mower, weed eater, and blower. There’s also a possibility that two more kids will be added to the trip if they finish in time, they each have five or fewer lawns left to complete. I’ll also be visiting our May Mower of the Month winner. My truck was down at the time, which prevented me from delivering the award sooner.
Our June Mower of the Month has already been selected, but July is still open, so your child still has a chance to be chosen! The drive from here to Idaho will take about three days, with another three-day drive back home. I’ll be bringing you along for the entire journey through my posts, and I’ll share the full route in my next post. Let’s hit the road!

🇺🇸 Matthew Axelson dedicated his life to serving something greater than himself. After graduating from college, he joined the U.S. Navy and earned the coveted SEAL Trident, becoming one of America's elite special operators.
In June 2005, Matt deployed to Afghanistan with SEAL Team 10. During Operation Red Wings, he and three teammates entered the rugged Hindu Kush Mountains on a dangerous reconnaissance mission. When their team was discovered, they were surrounded by overwhelming Taliban forces. Despite impossible odds, Matt stood shoulder to shoulder with Lt. Michael Murphy and Danny Dietz, fighting with incredible courage while protecting his fellow SEALs. Only Marcus Luttrell survived the battle.🕊️
Matthew's remains were recovered days later, and he was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism. His sacrifice continues to inspire generations of service members, reminding us that true courage is measured by loyalty, honor, and never abandoning those beside you.
