A giggling toddler is a hard thing to ignore! Paralympic track-and-field champion Blake Leeper was drawn to the joyful giggles coming from the doctor’s office hallway. Leeper left his own prosthetic fitting appointment to see what was going on.
That’s when he watched two-year-old KJ take his first steps with his new prosthetic foot.
Watch the moment Leeper got on the floor to cheer on KJ at Scott Sabolich Prosthetics office in Oklahoma City.
“You’re doing great!” Leeper says to KJ, walking towards him. “You’re doing awesome!”
Leeper beat Oscar Pistorius’s T43 400 meter Paralympic World record in 2017.
