July 27th, 2015: Magic Wheelchair
Ryan Weimer of Kaizer, Oregon, has two boys with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, a branch of Muscular Dystrophy, so will spend
their lives in wheelchairs. Starting in 2008, each Halloween he’d build costumes for the wheelchairs so they could go trick-or-treating like the other kids. For six years the costumes made the local news, then national news, and lit up the internet. Ryan set up a kickstarter five years ago and collected $25,000 to create The Magic Wheelchair non-profit which has provided free costumes to wheelchair bound kids. In 2015 they built 5 costumes in Oregon and 2 in Georgia. In 2016 it was 25, 2017 produced 50, and 2018 saw 100. Each costume takes 200 to 400 man hours and costs about $1500. Quote:
