I'm not sure our local story has made the national headlines, but it's truly worth sharing.

There were two young men - both in high school - taking their dates home from a dance. They got a flat tire. They stepped out of the vehicle and were getting the tire out of the back, when another classmate loss control on a very bad road (remember: it's a frozen tundra of ice and snow here), slamming into their vehicle, pinning both boys.

They each lost BOTH of their legs.

This week, Denver is hosting the National Western Stockshow. It's a great time for kids to come from all over, sell their prize winning animals, put some money away for college.

Instead, Emma Vickland put her hog up for auction and said ALL the proceeds would go to those two young men and their families. As they say in the article, usually you can expect to earn 2k or 3k.

She earned 35k for them!

I absolutely LOVE stories like this, and I wish there were more of them. If you'd like to read the article, click here. It's worth the read. It's an important story.

It's nice to know this world has some good left.
