Around the world, teams like ours are building cars to get kids with movement limitations racing, inspired by a grassroots initiative called "Go Baby Go!" developed at the University of Delaware. Today, there are independent branches of this initiative all over the world, including Geeks for Kids. The cars and the kids differ from place to place but the goal is the same: to get kids moving as early as possible so they can learn and grow.
To date, volunteers have built thousands of cars for kids with disabilities. Every story about these kids and their cars is unique, but all are exciting and inspiring. Here are just a few of our favorites.

Tired? Sick? No matter! Brooklyn found the energy to race and race and race in her new car. She was so ready for freedom!

After months of patiently saving his pennies, Stephen brought in a full jar of pennies ready to buy a "green hot rod" just like his dad's. So, we built a car for him...and he got to keep all his "monies."

For Viv & many of our kids, movement is an essential way to retain skills. And, her hot rod lets her keep on moving.
