World’s Largest Gathering Of Primordial Dwarfs
SUBSCRIBE to the Barcroft network: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
A CHARITY in the UK has organised the world's largest ever gathering of primordial dwarfs. There is thought to only be around 200 individuals globally with primordial dwarfism - which leaves people extremely short in stature but with their bones and organs in proportion to their bodies, unlike with other types of dwarfism. Thirty five (35) primordial dwarfs flew into Liverpool from all around the world to meet others like them and help raise awareness of the hyper-rare condition. The Walking With Giants Foundation (WWGF), founded by Sue and John Connerty, from Liverpool, have been running the week-long convention for nine years.

I suspect that he is an affable teenage boy and highly intelligent despite his seemingly childlike stature from a distance. I hope he finds solace in whatever field he will ultimately engage in when he enters the workforce. 🤗 P.S. Why would anyone bully little people? I could understand if they had a peculiar trait or behaviour issue but not for being small statured. That is wrong on so many levels.😖

All these parents are absolutely amazing, going wayyyy out of their way even flying out to make sure their kid gets to experience others like them. I'm so amazed by their parenting skills. The parents who put on this event, holly crap he deserves father of the year award. I don't even have kids and I'm totally inspired by their attitude, hope every one of those kids achieve great success and happiness. After all happiness is success..

What exists for these people nowadays is amazing but If there was a solution to cure them, that would be a crime not to do it.

Watching this video made me feel very humble. I fell in love with the boy running around like any child enjoying a game of football and felt for every family there. My Nephew had a rare condition with only 20 known cases in the world when he was born. Told he would not reach his first birthday he died just after his fifteenth and met every challenge with grace, humour and bravery. I look up to any child, born unique who reaches for the stars that we can only gaze at from afar. Love and blessing to each of them from someone who knows just how amazingly special each of you are xxxxxxxx
