My name is Anneke and I am 44, I will be 45 in August. And I was born with Spina Bifida. I walked until I was 10 and then had to have rods put in my back for scoliosis, lordosis and kyfosis. But I lead a very normal life. I work two part time jobs, I am happily married and I am on a bowling league. And am involved in my community. Seeing Roman, I believe he will lead an amazing life. I love following him and his family online.

I love how the interviewer made the sound of Donald and made Roman laugh that right there is a pretty cool Talent.

It makes me so happy to see how good the interviewer was to him. Obviously, he's not going to be mean, but getting into the tent to play with him and mimicking Donald Duck was awesome. It seemed like Roman really enjoyed playing with the interviewer.

Very handsome polite lil man
63 not hydro what ever but spina bifta stage 4 n my bump is in the exact same area. I walk, rode horses, drove 19 wheel rigs for a living, did 10 yrs taking care of children with physical disabilities cause when I was young No One Would Give My Parents a Break. I pray for your child n u guys as a family unit. I still walk just alot slower n with a walker. I have burnt my legs so bad n not even known they were being burnt, thank the good lord my husband smelled the skin burning. Be diligent with love n give yourselves a break every once in awhile. Love ❤️

Adorable wee boy. Bless him and his wonderful parents.
I’m 72 years old born with spina bifida operated on at the age of three months at Boston Children’s Hospital. I have no leg braces and I am not in a wheelchair and I have been very grateful extremely grateful. I do suffer from anxiety and depression that’s a lifelong thing and it’s getting worked on, very slow progress but at least I haven’t given up, yet.😊
From one Roman to another, what a lovely little guy. Thanks for the inspiration Roman + Family!
Omg I’m so glad he has great parents to help him through this rough time. Well they have each other.
What an amazingly sweet little dude.
I can't describe my happier to see him walking
This kid is just so incredibly cute!!!! I can't believe it!!! I'm literslly crying ❤
This story really puts a smile on my face and of course I cried. I cried with the video where he is telling his dog Maggie that he is walking. Just heartwarming!!! He really does show all of us what love should look like!!!
Roman, is such imporation to kids and adults who have spaniel buffed. That you can do everything like other people who don't have it. Thank you for sharing your story!!!!
Oh Roman, you are absolutely adorable.
He is so precious
What a BLESSING he is!!! He is LOVE♥️🥰
I hope Maggie lives forever. 😢
I am so happy to see him walking I first saw his video and wanted him to walk that's the only thing I wanted now seeing this makes me infinity times happy I can't even explain
He is so beautiful I wish him the absolute best in life bless him 🤍🤍
So amazing, Roman!! We need to have a Spina Bifida meet up!!! We both have Spina Bifida Myelomeningocele and Hydrocephalus. We are 29 & 33
2 years old! He’s so smart wow.
It is amazing how much Rowan has conquered and achieved. Also, Jeff Glor is such a terrific human being. Playing with Rowan and doing the Donald Duck impression. I also noticed how comfortable Rowan felt with him, leaning on his leg while talking about the Disney characters. The Dad in Jeff definitely came out and it is beautiful to see.

What about Lacey too.
A cute little guy. I hope he doesn't pull the 'I have a headache' when he doesn't want to go to school years from now. That would drive his parents nuts, ...
