“Can’t” Isn’t In His Dictionary
This is a story about an incredible boy named Tai Young. Tai was first introduced to our viewers back in 2009, when he was just five years old. Since then, Tai has accomplished a lot in his life including being an ambassador for multiple agencies like Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and Easter Seals — speaking on behalf of children with disabilities.
Tai’s mother says: “I remember the day the neurologist gave us the news at SickKids, and she said to us that he would never be able to sit on his own, would not be able to stand and he would not be able to walk. I 100 percent believe that if you have the right attitude and a good positive attitude, you can do anything you set your mind to.”
