Charity Transforms Boy's Wheelchair Into Halloween Costume



Most Halloween costumes are not made with children with disabilities in mind, but an Oregon-based non-profit transformed a Virginia boy's wheelchair into a Halloween costume worthy of a movie set.

Brian McNulty volunteers with Magic Wheelchair, a charity that builds epic costumes for children with disabilities across the nation. This Halloween, he built a Jeep for Kevin, a 15-year-old Manassas teen who uses a wheelchair. But it's not just any Jeep, it's the Jeep from "Jurassic Park."

The costume is made of foam and set on a frame that fits around Kevin's wheelchair. McNulty says the hardest part is making sure the fit and movement are perfect. 

"When we put the extra foam on the side, he won't hurt himself," McNulty said.
