Read about 5-year-old Camden Hanson, who lives with a brain condition that impacts his ability to move, but recently took his very first steps in a heartwarming, now-gone-viral video.
With everything going on right now, we can all benefit from some good news—and that’s exactly what 5-year-old Camden Hanson from Woodstock, Georgia is bringing to the internet right now.
“Since we all could use a little happiness in our lives these days: My youngest son has progressive cerebellar atrophy and is physically handicapped. He also has 10 therapies a week. Today, he finally took independent steps!! #MyHero #NeverGiveUp,” Hanson captioned the video. The cerebellum is the section of the brain responsible for coordinating movements such as posture, balance, coordination and speech. Improper function of the cerebellum can make routine tasks, like speaking, balancing and walking a challenge. Camden started physical, speech and occupational therapy when he was 20 months old. As an older child, he now also does horseback-riding and intensive robotics therapy.
Though he’s overcome several challenges already in life, Camden is just like any other 5-year-old boy. He likes video games, “Paw Patrol,” playing with legos and toy cars and dressing up as superheroes.
