An 8-year-old boy in Muskegon County, Michigan, is on a mission to mow lawns for veterans, the elderly, single parents, and people with disabilities this summer for free.

JR Achterhoff, who will soon be a third grader, decided to take the “50 Yard Challenge,” a nationwide charitable activity challenging kids to mow 50 lawns for free, and get a jump on learning to help their community.
