Scott Morgan crossing the Utah-Arizona border on Aug. 18.

A Santaquin man rides a lawnmower across Utah At 6 a.m. on Aug. 9, Scott Morgan prepared his lawn mower for a 439-mile journey at 7 mph across Utah. Scott has a passion for helping anyone and everyone, although his greatest desire is to help children. In the summer of 2020 as Scott was mowing his lawn, he received a very distinct impression which caused him to reflect upon the many sick children and their families. At the time, Scott didn’t quite understand the importance of this impression but in his heart, he knew he needed to do something to help. It wasn’t long before Scott learned of charitable pediatric organizations such as Shriners Hospital and Ronald McDonald House charities and the incredible medical support they pro-

Within a few short weeks, the idea of Mowing 4 Miracles was born, and preparations soon began. Mowing 4 Miracles became a success as it ended in a bittersweet experience as Scott finished his 439-mile journey 10 days later when he crossed the Utah/

Arizona border on Aug. 18. “We met a lot of good people and experienced firsthand the generosity of so many wonderful Utah citizens” – Scott Morgan. With 16,000 dollars raised, Scott was able to donate those funds to the Salt Lake City chapter of Shriners Hospital. Fortunately, the fun didn’t stop there; Scott had a lot of time to think as he rode for 10 days on the seat of his yellow lawn mower. He knew in his heart that his goal to help all these sick kids would not be a one-time event, but a continuing annual commitment. It was on the ride home from the Utah/Arizona border that plans for his 2nd annual event “Rolling for Ronald” began to take form. Rolling for Ronald begins May 14. Scott will again attempt to ride his now-famous yellow lawnmower 439 miles across Utah at 7 mph. With a fundraising goal of $25,000, he plans to donate all the proceeds to Ronald McDonald House charities. You can follow Scott on his journey by finding Rolling for Ronald’s Facebook page. Scott plans to video log his entire journey and experiences. Scott said it best “This has been life changing for me, and I plan to continue fundraising ever year because it’s the right thing to do for our kids.”
