The Thrill of a Lifetime

Meet Fin Burns. Fin is a 10 year old boy from Sandy Lake, PA. Fin LOVES big trucks and has always dreamed about seeing one up close and personal. Since Fin has Cerebral Palsy this has always been a bit of a challenge until now!

 



Central Farm & Garden Professional Driver and close friend of Fin's family (Terry Sanford) wanted to make this young boy's dream a reality. Terry talked to regional leadership about setting something up and we were able to put something together. On 8/7/15, Terry headed up to Fin's home town with Brian Tabor (Regional Operations Manager) to meet him. Fin immediately received a JB Hunt DCS ball cap and personalized JB Hunt t-shirt created by Terry's former supervisor at Toys R Us (Sue Mateo). Fin was all smiles as he got to get into the truck and sit behind the wheel. After several honks on the truck's horn, Fin got to take a good look at the exterior of the truck as well as the engine. The only time Fin wasn't beaming with happiness was when it was time for him to go home.
 

 

Special thanks go out to Jason and Christi Burns (Fin's parents) and Terry Sanford for pushing to set this up. It was great having Fin as an honorary member of the DCS Central Region for the day!
