First walk to school
A seven year old boy has today walked to school for the first time.
Evan Whitton from Silsden, West Yorkshire has had to use a wheelchair to get to school up until now as he has Cerebal Palsy.
He has always had difficulty walking and has even been to America for surgery, which has enabled him to walk with the aid of sticks.
He decided to try to walk to school after hearing about a project called "Walk the history of the Games", which has been inspired by the London 2012 Olympics.
