There are about 764,000 children and adults in the United States who live with cerebral palsy.
On St. Estatuis, a remote island in the Caribbean, there is only one: 4-year-old Christopher Simmons. Simmons was born four months premature, and spend three months in the hospital after his birth. For four years, he was the only person on the island with cerebral palsy.

However, Simmons’ mother heard about a new student at the local university who also had the disorder. Simmons’ mother found Tyler Sexton, the student, and brought him to see her son. "He was in a wheelchair that didn’t fit," Tyler Sexton recalled. "He had tools that were not adequate."

Sexton decided to try to help Simmons. After a summer break, he returned to the island with a custom-made wheelchair for Simmons, thanks to the Shriners Hospital for Children, where he used to work. The hospital also agreed to help the young boy if they could get him to the United States. Sexton invited 500 guests to a gala at St. Estatuis and raised enough money to pay for two trips to Tampa for Simmons and his mother. Simmons underwent surgery at Shriners in October that enabled him to walk short distances. Doctors say he has made significant progress and is currently working toward several other therapy goals.
Sexton is studying to be a pediatrician. He says having hope helps him succeed. "I’ve been told I’d be blind, mentally and physical disabled, I would never walk myself, and here we are," Sexton said."We’re here. And that’s what’s important."
