PARALYSIS IS JUST A 'BUMP IN ROAD' FOR BRAVE TEEN

Sporty Shayne determined to live life to full despite loss of limb movement

ONCE "seriously sporty" teenager left partially paralysed from the shoulder down is determined to carry on with his life and views his condition as "a bump in the road".

At the age of six, Shayne Dawson-Dymond, from the West Midlands, was found to have a benign bone tumour at the top of his left knee, which was later removed, but a routine scan in April 2024 revealed a new shadow on his left shin bone.

Shayne, now 16, had another benign tumour in the area and he underwent a biopsy but complications left him with an "oozing wound" and pressure at the back of his knee, causing "excruciating pain".

Shayne's mother, Claire Dawson, 45, said her son started to lose feeling in his left leg and after a series of operations and Shayne, an avid kayaker and horse rider, was informed he would "never regain the use" of his limb.
