Young amputee wants to be ballet dancer

This is Harvey Phillips, who lost both legs and an arm to meningitis – but that hasn't stopped him from taking up ballet.

The four-year-old had his limbs amputated at just nine months and his mother, Lisa, thought he would never be able to play with other boys and girls.

But the brave boy proved her wrong after watching his five-year-old sister Kayla at her ballet class.

Now he is able to run, jump, twirl and even play football thanks to the plastic caps which protect his legs.

'He wants to try everything, he doesn't understand the meaning of the word no,' said Ms Phillips, 34. 'I'm so proud of him.'

Harvey contracted meningitis at nine months and doctors feared he might not last the night, calling for a priest to baptise him. He pulled through, but his fingers and toes were left black by blood poisoning, so he had surgery.
