I wanted to share this story of one of the bravest lads I know and how Lewis Hamilton made his dream come true as its heart warming.
A friend and work colleagues son has been very ill for most of his life. He had been in and out of hospital most of his life. Through all the pain and treatment he never stopped smiling and was always positive. Even so it felt that every step forward was a step back for him and his family. This came to a head last year where they had to make the decision for him to have his leg amputated ...... This was a matter of survival and although for a 12 year old this was a moment that would change his life it would also give him life. He went through this operation ...... Yes there was plenty of upset but he was still positive and strong. Through this time and the coming weeks and months of physio and learning to walk again the one thing that kept him smiling was his love for F1 and particularly Mercedes and his hero Lewis Hamilton.
Well a few weeks ago his dreams came true and got to meet his hero and the team. You can see just how happy he is below and Lewis I know gets some bad press but he took time out along with the team to make this time special and give him an experience that he will remember for the rest of his life. Life is precious and its people like Fin that show us this....
