“He has gone from not being able to walk very much to running and deadlifting 80kg for 10 reps, alongside doing pullups and dips. He said: “It does feel like I have defied the odds because I have gone in for surgeries that were so big that it could have gone either way. Marco’s story inspired Thomas, who told the First Minister Humza Yousaf his story upon a visit, so much that he has now applied for funding to help more young adults with cerebral palsy reach their potential.
