One of our most inspirational stories about our work helping a Scottish boy named Danyl learn to walk again after a serious accident. "The last thing I said was: “I’m dying dad, I’m dying dad.” after that I can’t remember anything. ... For the first few weeks, I .. didn’t believe that I was actually blind. ... I was just glad that I was still alive. ... When you first came out to work with us .. I honestly thought you were joking, I didn’t think that it would work. ... When I first came round in hospital and I really wanted to walk and see again, I didn’t think that all of this would be done for me. I didn’t think that there would be help coming from all of Scotland, never mind from America to help me. Now I definitely think I will be able to walk again ... so I am really, really happy with all the help that I’ve received." - Danyl,
