Ben has been told he would always use a wheelchair. That changed because surprisingly enough, Ben walked out on the Wembley pitch with the England football team.Ben Braddeley from Newcastle in Staffordshire has spastic diplegia cerebral palsy and should not be able to walk unaided. But he walked beside the England team as the team’s mascot in the match against Switzerland. His first steps were after using a trike designed to strengthen his legs.
It was Ben´s first visit to Wembley. His father said”: it’s always been a dream of his to go to Wembley stadium.’’ Ben said he was really excited to be making the trip and it seems like a dream come true. He still has to wear splints inside his shoes but that has not stopped him from playing football.
This story caught my eye because it seems like a miracle. He was not supposed to walk ever again and then look what happens. He is only 7 years old and has a long future in front of him. It is nice to hear that people don’t give up when they hear doctors say that a situation is not able to change. If the parents gave up Ben would not be walking today. But they tried everything before giving up. I am sure Ben has made many plans now that his life has changed completely, I would do the same thing.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england
What an emotional story. It must be very hard for his parents to see their child suffer like that. But now it is for them the best thing that ever happened. I hope that his sweetest wishes come true and that he will have a healthy and long life with his parents.
