Wyatt Burggraff has jumped his way into the hearts of millions.

The 4-year-old boy has spina bifida, and as a result uses a wheelchair, according to ABC News. But he’s like all other kids his age and can’t resist a good jump session on a trampoline. With a little help from a friend, he’s able to spread his wings and, literally, jump for joy.

“Faster,” the little boy adorably calls out to his helper.

Wyatt has become an instant Internet sensation, where his sweet video has been shared nearly 100,000 times on Facbook and has more than 35,000 views on Twitter.

The video was taken at TNT Kid’s Fitness & Gymnastic, which is a gym whose mission is to offer inclusivity for all. The classes are designed to meet the physical, social, emotional and cognitive needs of every kid.

The staff at TNT includes a handful of licensed educators, occupational therapists and gymnastics and fitness experts, many whom have experience working with kids with special needs. Their dedication to inclusivity creates a safe and fun haven for kids like Wyatt to break down any barriers standing in their way.

“They’re very well-trained and Wyatt has a ball,” his mom boasts to Good Morning America.

Consider our hearts stolen.
