There are so many different ways to bring awareness to noble causes and raise money for charities that the only real limit seems to be a person’s creativity.
One man from Winter Garden, Florida, who works at Main Street Mower, decided to use his particular set of skills and access to riding lawnmowers to do some good and benefit the West Orange chapter of Habitat for Humanity, Inc.
And how exactly did he plan to do that? By riding a lawnmower across his home state — a skinny section of it, but 130 miles all the same.

“Being a 6th generation Floridian — I love my community,” Hawthorne said, according to Fox News. “And if riding a mower across the entire state of Florida helps provide someone a home in my community, then it’s been a good use of my time.”
“Florida Man has done just about everything,” Main Street Mower posted on March 19. “But has he ever driven a mower across the state to benefit Habitat For Humanity?
“Chip Hawthorne with Main Street Mower will be driving a TORO lawn mower across the Sunshine state to raise money for the West Orange Chapter of Habitat for Humanity, where all donations go towards building houses for the ones in need.”
