This 8-year-old with cerebral palsy just completed a UK triathlon
A video of eight-year-old Bailey Matthews from Doncaster, England, completing his first triathlon has touched the hearts of people around the world.
And with good reason. Bailey, who has cerebral palsy completed a 100 metre lake swim, a 4,000 metre bike ride, and a 1,300 metre run as part of the Castle Howard Triathlon in North Yorkshire. But it was the last 20 metres of the race where this champion showed the world what he’s made of.
At the final leg of the race, Bailey left his walking frame behind and ran, completely unaided, to the finish line. What a champion!
