Becci Lomax of Plymouth, England encountered a baby duckling that was going to be put down because of a lame leg. She took the duck in and nursed it back to health. As Lomax gave the duck, now named Ming-Ming, a dose of physical therapy every day, her 4-year-old son Finlay, who was born with cerebral palsy, watched and learned.
“This is the most amazing thing because in doing physio on the duckling, the same as I do for my son, Finlay took his first three steps after watching me doing the physio with the duckling.
“I was brimming with pride.
“Finlay uses a frame at home but even that’s increased. He said ‘I walk like the duck Mummy’,” says Becci.
Is this quack medicine? We’ll see when she gets a bill. Link -via Fark

Dick and Rick Hoyt are a father-son team who have run 60 marathons (25 of them the Boston Marathon), 6 Ironman Triathlons (composed of 2.4 mile swim, followed by a 116 mile bike ride and then a 26 mile maraton), and other races for a total of nearly 1000 events.
Rick has cerebral palsy, so his dad pushes him in a wheelchair and pulls him in a raft through the water … Watch this clip for a fascinating look at Team Hoyt.
