Sep. 9—KERNERSVILLE — Bryce Kenny, who gets to play with a 12,000-pound toy for a living, couldn’t stop talking about Legos.
The 35-year-old High Point native, who drives the Great Clips Mohawk Warrior monster truck, has experienced plenty of thrills during his seven years as a driver on the immensely popular Monster Jam circuit. He’ll tell you, though, that they don’t measure up to the thrill he got playing Legos one day with Ollie, a young boy in Nashville, Tennessee, who was battling cancer.
Through his nonprofit Live Like Warriors foundation — and the generosity of his foundation supporters — Kenny had donated more than a dozen sets of Legos to Ollie, an avowed Mohawk Warrior fan who actually had his parents give him a mohawk before chemo treatments caused his hair to fall out. Kenny delivered the Legos personally — with his signature gelled-up mohawk — then took time to enjoy them with his newfound “mohawk buddy.”
A video on the Live Like Warriors website captures the special day and reflects what a powerful impact it had on Ollie and his family.
“You just never know what you can do with a volunteer army making a coordinated effort to help fill specific needs,” Kenny says, “and that’s what Live Like Warriors is all about.”
