In 2013, a paralysed man in Wales gave up his dream of walking again to pay for a young boy's treatment instead. Dan Black spent years saving £20,000 for stem cell treatment, but after hearing of a five-year-old boy in a similar predicament, he donated the money to him instead.
He and his family have spent the past four years fundraising to pay for pioneering stem-cell treatment that could help him to walk again.
But Mr Black has given up his chance of getting back on his feet after reading about five-year-old Brecon Vaughan from nearby Mathern, Chepstow, who was born with a rare condition, spastic diplegia cerebral palsy, which causes stiffness in his legs, poor balance and coordination.
