Keaton Foster, a seven-year-old from Cochrane, Alberta, collected a million pop-tabs through a mailbox outside his home and turned the scrap into ten wheelchairs for children.
Practice puzzle. It does not touch your streak or today's stats.
Kept 'million'? How many he collected, and the best wrong word here: true, but the news is what the tabs became. Kept 'Keaton' or 'Foster'? His name; the five keep his age. Kept 'collected' or 'mailbox'? How it started. Kept 'ten' or 'children'? How many chairs and who they are for; 'wheelchairs' says it. This one really happened. Over a year ago Keaton Foster, then six, put a mailbox outside his home in the Heartland neighbourhood of Cochrane, Alberta, and asked people to drop in the tabs from their drink cans. In mid-August a truckbed of totes and jugs went to West Can Recyclers in Calgary. The tabs brought in just over $1,000, and Benevity, where his mum works, matched it, enough for ten wheelchairs through the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation: five built in Canada and five in Mazatlan, Mexico, where the family plans to go in March so Keaton can hand them over himself. Before his dad could reverse out of the recycler's car park, Keaton said: 'We'll collect another million tabs.' CochraneNow, 13 October.
