An inspirational Cumbrian miracle boy who continues to astound doctors round the world is now chasing his dream of being able to walk and run.

Noah Wall, aged nine, from near Wigton was born with only two per cent of a brain, which has now grown to about 80 per cent, and has given hope that one day he may be able to walk.

This is a dream that could become a reality in the near future.

The brave youngster has just undergone an operation to straighten his leg.

His mum Shelly Wall said: “Noah is such a brave boy and he is determined to walk again.

“It is going to be a long process but he is excited to have his surgery.”

Noah was born in March 2012 and he was diagnosed with Spina Bifida early in the pregnancy and as time progressed there became more complications.

It became apparent that Noah was missing a back quarter of his brain, and would be paralysed from the chest down.

The hardworking youngster has always battled on and is also patron of Variety the Children’s Charity and The Music Man Project.

In the past the family were the focus of an episode on DIY SOS in August 2014.

The team came to the aid of the family, who had to put the brakes on renovating their 18th-century house when Noah was born.

The cold, unfinished house was transformed by Nick Knowles, his team, the community and interior designer Charlie Luxton.

Since then Noah has grown up and his garden is now in desperate need of another update.

Shelly said: “What the team from DIY SOS did for us was amazing and Noah has loved it.

“He grew vegetables and herbs in the garden and loves his water feature.

"But now he has grown, and his wheelchair is getting bigger, he can’t reach the things he needs to reach.

“We’re now really in need of help to try and make it safe and usable for him again.

“The garden has been so important to him and it has so many sensory benefits it would be great if we could get help to make it work for him.”

After a long surgery they youngster is now recovering with a smile on his face and his dreams are in reach.

His mum said: “Noah is doing well and is now in recovery.”

The family will now start the long process to help him stand.
