The parents of a severely disabled Yorkshire boy are dreaming of him being able to walk one day.

Brave three-year-old Logan Lee Smith was born with hydrocephalus - a condition where there is an abnormal build up of CSF (cerebrospinal fluid) in the cavities (ventricles) of the brain.

Courageous Logan has battled through a series of invasive surgeries throughout his life.

Cody, from Birdwell, Barnsley, told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "Logan has been diagnosed with global development delay and visual impairment.

"Doctors are also querying cerebral palsy, Logan has trouble eating so he has a blended diet .

"He loves music, he especially loves Ed Sheeran's shape of you song, he also uses a wheel chair because he cannot sit or hold his head up.

"The reason for me setting up this page is to get private therapy for Logan to help build his strength so someday he can hold his head up and even walk.
