GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. - Competitive sports are an important part of so many young people's lives, but for some, the expense keeps them from being able to play. 

Good Day's Buck Lanford shares how a mother and son in Gwinnett County are putting their best foot forward in an effort to help.

A Georgia mother and son are making sure everyone can put their best foot forward on the football field.

Preston Ratliff, 14, has a simple goal: to help as many people as he can. 

Ratliff and his mom started Second Life Equipment, a non-profit that collects and donates football cleats to under-resourced children in Gwinnett County as well as surrounding counties. 

"He is a passionate football player at North Gwinnett High School, so he had the decision that he wanted to do a non-profit that's related to football," Ratliff's mom, Heather, told Good Day's Buck Lanford.
