Lon Davis' son was born with neuroblastoma - a tumor in his neck - and cannot walk. Lon has been making Halloween costumes for his son for several years: they decide who Reese wants to be this time, and the father figures out how to build a wheelchair into the costume.

Davis ended up creating Walkin' & Rollin' Costumes, a company that creates unique costumes for children in wheelchairs and gives them away for free. Among the outfits are the costumes of Iron Man, Peter Pan and a space fighter from the Star Wars movie.

Lon and ten-year-old Reese presented their latest creation, the Baymax robot costume, at Comic-Con in Kansas. They raise money for costumes on the Kickstarter website. The project is also looking for volunteers, and you can post your costume design on Facebook.com/WalkinRollin.
