Embark on an extraordinary journey with Mike Bolland, a congenital amputee who defies the odds and transcends barriers with his remarkable resilience and ingenuity. Born without a right hand in Montclair, New Jersey, Mike's story is a testament to the power of perseverance and creativity.
From his early years in beautiful Hazlet, NJ, where he attended Beers Street School, to his family's relocation to Arizona at the age of eight, Mike's life took unexpected turns that would shape his remarkable trajectory. It was in Arizona where Mike's journey into the spotlight began when he landed the role of Danny in the movie "The Trial of Billy Jack." While initially drawn to the glitz and glamour of the movie industry, Mike quickly realized that his casting was not due to his acting talents, but rather his unique physical condition.
Undeterred by the challenges he faced, Mike's resilience only grew stronger with time. At the age of 13, he embarked on a bowling journey that would change his life forever. Introduced to the sport by a friend, Mike quickly discovered a natural talent for bowling. By the age of 16, he clinched his first state bowling title, propelling him onto the national stage and earning him a coveted spot in the Coca-Cola Nationals in Washington, D.C. This opportunity marked Mike's first real taste of independence and success away from home.

Tattoo Tom's journey has been one of unimaginable loss and heartbreak, but from that pain, he has created something truly inspiring. After the devastating loss of his daughter Shayla to childhood cancer, he made the decision to dedicate his life to helping others fighting this terrible disease. This decision led to the creation of Stillbrave, an organization dedicated to raising awareness and funds for childhood cancer research.
One of the things that makes Tattoo Tom's work so special is his ability to connect with families and children who are going through what he went through with Shayla. His first-hand knowledge of the pain and fear that comes with a childhood cancer diagnosis allows him to be a source of comfort and strength for those who are struggling. He brings a unique blend of humor and compassion to his work, which helps to lift the spirits of those around him.
Despite the incredible work that Stillbrave does, the organization faced a challenge when it came to reaching a wider audience. This is where the YouTube algorithm came in. By leveraging the power of this platform, Stillbrave was able to tell Tattoo Tom's story and reach a larger audience than ever before.
The YouTube algorithm is designed to surface content that is engaging, relevant, and resonates with viewers. Stillbrave's content checked all these boxes and more. The emotional story of Tattoo Tom and Shayla, combined with the work that Stillbrave is doing to fight childhood cancer, was a perfect fit for the platform. The videos were able to reach a wider audience and connect with people who may not have been familiar with Stillbrave before.
One of the keys to success on YouTube is creating content that people want to watch and engage with. Stillbrave was able to do this by telling a powerful story and connecting with viewers on an emotional level. The organization also made use of other YouTube tools, such as collaborations with other creators and running ads, to further amplify their message and reach even more people.
In conclusion, Tattoo Tom's journey is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit. Despite experiencing unimaginable loss, he was able to turn his pain into something positive and create an organization that is making a real difference in the fight against childhood cancer. By leveraging the power of the YouTube algorithm, Stillbrave was able to tell their story and reach a wider audience than ever before. The success of their content is a testament to the power of storytelling and the importance of connecting with viewers on an emotional level.
