His dream is to run, jump and play football...

Volodya, a 10-year-old boy from the Dnipropetrovsk region, was born with atrophied lower limbs and spent years moving on his hands and knees. After the amputation of both lower limbs, he traveled to Minneapolis with the support of the Protez Foundation and took his first steps on training prosthetics. His determination and joy were incredible, as he was able to walk proudly for the first time in his life.
