Pam Waters, Special Education Teacher at Skyline Middle School, recently found special-edition die-cast Hot Wheels toy cars in the form of wheelchairs! This picture was taken as she prepared to visit with one of her students to whom she provides in-home instruction.

What a unique find! The replica is of a true wheelchair athlete, Aaron Wheelz Fotheringham. Waters confesses she purchased every wheelchair Hot Wheels model on the shelf to give as gifts to other young people she knows who have disabilities. She said three high school students who received the Hot Wheels model car sent heartfelt thank-you notes in response!
