A good-hearted delivery man went the extra mile to reach out to professional skateboarder Tony Hawk to fulfill a 6-year-old boy鈥檚 wish in the United States.
FedEx delivery driver Mikail Farrar narrated how he met a young boy, who was later identified as Cooper Morgan, while he was doing his usual rounds, as seen on his last Wednesday, May 20. During their interaction, the boy requested Farrar to deliver his skateboard to Hawk.
Morgan apparently chased the delivery man鈥檚 truck to ask Farrar for the favor. The delivery driver also showed Morgan鈥檚 beaten up skateboard with missing wheels. Underneath the board were Hawk鈥檚 and the boy鈥檚 names.
鈥淗e said, 鈥榞ive this to Tony Hawk for me. Tell him it鈥檚 from Cooper,'鈥� Farrar said, recalling his interaction with the boy.
Since Farrar did not know Hawk鈥檚 address, in an attempt to keep his promise, Farrar used social media to put the word out about Morgan鈥檚 request.

Morgan鈥檚 wish eventually reached the skateboarder. Hawk gave a personal message to the boy using his account on May 20. Hawk confirmed that Morgan鈥檚 skateboard was on its way to his home and in exchange, he would be sending his own skateboard.
Farrar also personally introduced the boy and thanked Hawk for sharing some of his time 鈥渢o do something so kind鈥� for Morgan, as seen on Farrar鈥檚 yesterday, May 21.
鈥淚 just want to say thank you for the skateboard and you鈥檙e a very great skater,鈥� Morgan said, addressing Hawk. The boy鈥檚 older brother, Tucker, also sent his love to Hawk.

鈥淩ight now, in the world, we鈥檙e arguing about politics, there鈥檚 social justice issues, there鈥檚 a virus going around, obviously, but you know, kids still deserve to have fun,鈥� he was quoted as saying.
