Snowplow Hero Works 12-Hour Days to Fundraise for Multiple Sclerosis

Tommy Mullins spends his winter days on a tractor, clearing snow from driveways and mailboxes in Vinton. He works long hours without charging his neighbours but instead asks for donations to the MS Society. His efforts are driven by a personal connection to the cause—his wife has lived with multiple sclerosis for 22 years.

Mullins starts his work at 8 AM and continues until 8 PM, ploughing through snow from sunrise to sunset. The cold temperatures and sleet make the job tough, but he relies on his tractor, calling it his 'shovel' for the task. Despite the hardship, he finds motivation in the smiles and gratitude of those he helps.

His mission goes beyond just clearing snow. Instead of payment, he requests contributions to the MS Society, aiming to ease the financial burden on others affected by the disease. Mullins has no plans to stop as long as his neighbours need him.

The work is deeply personal. His wife's long battle with multiple sclerosis has shaped his commitment to supporting the cause while serving his community.

Mullins' snow removal efforts bring practical help to Vinton residents while raising funds for the MS Society. His long days on the tractor reflect both dedication to his neighbours and a desire to make a difference for those facing multiple sclerosis. The initiative remains ongoing, driven by requests from the community.
