A YOUNG boy who was told he would never walk has recently danced his way to the top at the Dance World Cup.
Islander Harry Newton was picked out of 1,800 dancers to be crowned with a personal achievement award after stunning judges with his performance.
The ten-year-old was diagnosed with Spina Bifida, a condition which affects the spinal cord, before he was born.
Harry’s parents, Rachael and Warwick, were told by doctors that he would never crawl or walk as he had no feeling in his legs below the knee.
