Among the honourees were seven-year-old Matilda Booth, from Sowerby Bridge in West Yorkshire, who has spina bifida and four-year-old Mckenzie Brackle from Fife who has acute flaccid paralysis. Matilda, who is also paralysed from the chest down, has had more than 40 operations while Mckenzie’s battle with acute flaccid paralysis began following a virus. He has had to learn to speak, swallow, eat, drink and move again.
