RADFORD - Rubber bands can be used for a variety of purposes, but a 12-year-old boy from Radford hopes they'll soon be used to save lives.
Benjamin Dabney was recently named a finalist in the 2010 Rubber Band Contest for Young Inventors.
Participants were asked to create an invention with rubber bands as a main component.
Dabney's invention uses them to hold together a quick-set malaria tent that can be used in African countries.
