This is just flat-out AWESOME!

A ton of athletes like Kevin Durant and Matt Kemp have been showing support and donating to the families affected by the devastating Oklahoma tornado earlier this week, and now the West Virginia University baseball team is getting in on the action!

Head coach Randy Mazey took the Mountaineers to their local Walmart where the boys stuffed their carts with clothes, food, and other supplies for all of the victims in need!

Ch-ch-check out their inspirational shopping spree (above)!

It definitely shows that the players are more than happy to take some time and help out any way they can, especially since a few of them are actually from Oklahoma!

We have to give MAJOR props to West Virginia University for this amazing act of kindness!

Way to go, Mountaineers!

Actually, what are we saying?

We'd love to hear Lily sing about that!

Here what Lily said about why she's chosen to write songs about these topics:

Just because you're a professional motorcycle and snowmobile racer doesn't mean that you can't revolutionize the world of prosthetics with an invention that will game-change the world of artificial joints! No biggie!

LOLz!

Mike Shultz has been in the X Games 11 times, but he has a special place in his heart for the lab! He has NO mechanical training and NO engineering background, but he has more motivation that anyone else! You see, he lost his left leg above the knee in December 2008 snowmobiling accident.

So he invented the Moto Knee and Versa Foot, to create a prosthetic leg for athletes to use in extreme sports — and it's blowing minds!

Here's what he said:

Being bipolar is actually brutally common in the world, yet it carries with it a stigma that people just can't shake. Just because it's common, though, doesn't mean it should be taken lightly. We're glad Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't riding it out… and has taken it upon herself to be very proactive with her diagnosis!

We're happy to hear that she has returned home after another round of treatment for the mental affliction!
