Default 7yr old boy climbs Ben Nevis after his parents were told he would never walk...

...Caeden......


A seven-year-old boy with cerebral palsy, whose parents were told he would never walk, has climbed Britain's tallest mountain for charity.

Caeden Thomson, from Corby, Northamptonshire, was born 12 weeks premature, and has since undergone intense physiotherapy.

On his JustGiving page, his mother Lisa said he wanted to be able to "give something back", because "he was so lucky for all the things he has had in his life".

Caeden trekked the 1,345m (4,413ft) to the top of Ben Nevis in the Highlands on Saturday, raising more than £8,000 for his local NHS trust and disability equality charity, Scope.

The group set off at 9am, reaching the summit at 5.30pm, before returning to the bottom five hours later.

Caeden said: "My body hurts a lot but I'm OK. It was really, really hard.


"I felt sick and exhausted at the top, and I felt exhausted but happy at the bottom!"
