Boy, 7, who lost both legs, given new lease of life with special ride-on kart
The mother of a seven-year-old boy who lost both legs due to a rare spinal condition has revealed how a prototype ride-on kart specially invented for him has given him back his childhood.
The parents of James Smyth, who features on RTÉ’s new heart-warming invention series, the Big Life Fix, were devastatingly told he would never sit up and have any quality of life when he was born with Caudal Regression Syndrome, which affects the lower spine.
