A young man walks onto the stage of Stars in their Eyes, on crutches, with a

plaster cast from his feet to his hips.

 

Matthew Kelly Introduces him as Simon. 'It's very brave of you to come out

here,' says Matthew. 'Please tell the audience what happened?'

 

'Well' replies Simon 'about a year ago, I was driving with my uncle when we

had a really bad accident.

 

Unfortunately my uncle was killed outright but I survived. I was trapped in

the car for six hours before I was eventually cut free.' 'The doctors had me

in surgery for 12 hours but they couldn't save my legs.'

 

'That's terrible. But I see you have legs now. Are they artificial? 'asks

Matthew.

 

'No Matthew, while I was in hospital the doctors informed me that my uncle

had in fact died, but that his legs were fine and with all the advances in

medical science, they could graft the bottom half of his body onto mine. As

you can see the operation was successful.

 

I have been having physiotherapy for six months and hope to be walking fully again by the end of the year. A huge round of applause erupts from the

audience.

 

Kelly responds with: 'That's an unbelievable story. So tonight, who are you

going to be?'
