Little boy with mystery condition baffling doctors still can't walk aged two

Doctors are mystified as to why a little boy struggles to walk.

But they're hoping to buy a special bike that will help two-year-old Alfie-James Webberley, from Scarborough, Yorkshire, become more mobile.

Doctors say he could be showing signs of developmental delay or autism but a full diagnosis is pending.

Because of his balance problems that would often result in painful falls, Alfie-James has been using a walker to aid him for the past year.

Mum, Leanne Webberley says Alfie-James would like nothing more than to join in the fun with his brother and sister and ride a bike.

Because of his condition, he is unable to ride a standard bike as he can't sit upright without extra support and harnesses, Yorkshire Live reports.

"Approximately one year ago, I realised when Alfie-James turned one that he wasn't able to walk, e had no balance and was falling into things" said Leanne.

"He is a very cheeky, happy-go-lucky little boy, who is very determined to do things himself.

"So as you can imagine he gets very frustrated when he can't do these things."

His family are now hoping to get Alfie-James a special bike to allow him to live his life like other children his age.

"Having his own bike means that Alfie-James can have the independence and freedom he likes as well as the opportunity to do things other children would his age," said Leanne.

"The bike also has health benefits and if he gets tired I can assist him via a parent handle."

While the little boy has therapy sessions every week to assist him with different parts of his development, riding a special bike would also help strengthen his leg muscles.

Unfortunately, the NHS does not cover the cost and the little boy's family are now hoping to raise £1,400 to help make their son's dream come true.

"We as a family would be very grateful, even the smallest amount gets us that little bit closer to achieving our goal," said Leanne.

"To anyone that donates or even shares [the appeal] thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
