Spina bifida isn鈥檛 slowing down this boy鈥檚 love of Halloween
Five-year-old Blake Mompher is ready to take Halloween by storm.
The Prospect, Ohio, boy lives with spina bifida, a condition that affects his spine. Not wanting their sweet boy to miss out on the Halloween spirit, his family created an epic costume for him.
Using a cardboard box, Blake鈥檚 grandpa created a custom 鈥淏lake County鈥� school bus costume to fit over his wheelchair.
鈥淗e鈥檚 just a boy who loves buses, trucks and all that good stuff," Blake's mom, Megan Mompher, told WSYX. 鈥淲e put it on his wheelchair and it comes to life for him.鈥�
This isn鈥檛 Blake鈥檚 first cool costume. In 2016, the family created a bulldozer costume that even had a spot for his Halloween bucket.
Despite an upcoming surgery on the schedule for November, Megan says her son remains one happy boy.
鈥淓ven him knowing that's coming, he just always has a positive attitude; he's always happy," she told CBS News. "It's all he knows, and he kind of goes with the flow of things."
With a smile on his face and trick-or-treating right around the corner, Blake鈥檚 Halloween is sure to be one to remember.
