Check out this amazing story about 10 year old Dugan Smith. Dugan, when faced with a rare form of cancer, decided to beat all the odds to continue his love of baseball.
Dugan had a procedure called a rotationplasty in which his lower leg was detached, turned 180 degrees, and reattached higher, allowing his ankle muscles and ligaments to do the job of his knee. With his ankle serving as a backwards knee, he is able to use his foot in a prosthetic and have more control. This is one inspiring kid!
