Suffering from cerebral palsy, this little boy decides to finish the race without his walker! A very moving moment...

Despite being only 8 years old, young Bailey Matthews has impressive courage.

From Worksop, England, the little guy who was born 9 weeks early is suffering from cerebral palsy, that prevents him from moving around as he pleases. 

During a triathlon that he participated in a few days ago, he talked about it. After the first stage of swimming, followed by the next stage on a bike, he started a race that was just over 1 km. When he reached 100 m from the end, he decided to finish the race without his walker, encouraged by the crowd. 

The result made his dad cry, impressing the whole crowd and millions of internet users who have learned about his story! 

He displayed courage and strength of character that are nice to see, and you can see it in the following video!

Way to go, Bailey!
