Jeremy Lewis a 3 year old boy with the heart of a champion. He has suffered many complications with Spina Bifida but he hasn't deterred him from living a happy bountiful life. Over the course of one year, Jeremy had to have six brain surgeries. But they didn’t slow him down! In February of 2012, Jeremy was becoming paralyzed in his ankles and he could no longer control them. That is when his family realized he had another complication of his Spina Bifida called a tethered cord. So that same month he underwent a serious surgery to release his spinal cord and nerves from scar tissue surrounding it. That surgery was a success. Two months later he began walking with a gait trainer. He spent six months with his gait trainer until one day he realized he could walk without it! Today Jeremy is a happy, healthy talking 3 year old. He is walking everywhere and has started the process of running as well! Jeremy continues to defy the odds every day of his life.
