A mum was moved to tears after her disabled son finally got to play in the sea - thanks to the use of a beach wheelchair. Little Joey Leathwood, two, has quadriplegic cerebral palsy, which affects both of his arms and legs, and often the torso and face. He suffers with very bad sensory issues and cannot stand the feel of grass, sand, sun, snow - and even throws up when placed on a fluffy rug. Trips to the beach were impossible but thanks to a charity offering beach wheelchairs, young Joey has finally been able to enjoy the sea for the first time ever. His proud mum, Helen Butterfield, 34, was moved to tears as she filmed her little boy squealing with excitement as the sea water washed over him and his dad, welder Tom Leathwood, 37. Joey cannot support his body enough to sit unaided but was able to sit on the shore with the water hitting him last Friday (19/8) thanks to a wheelchair from Beach Ability Ingoldmells on Ingoldmells beach, Lincs. Mum-of-three Helen, who is Joey's full time carer and lives in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, said: "It was probably one of the most special moments of my life, seeing his reaction. "Honestly, he has never laughed so much. "Beach Ability have given my boy the chance to experience waves and mother nature's beauty instead of feeling left out and different. "I'm just so glad I managed to get it on camera. We will never, ever forget this day. Joey was born prematurely at 27 weeks on December 28, 2019, weighing just 2lb 6oz and spent 12 weeks in the special care baby unit at Rotherham Hospital. After experiencing tensions in his arms and legs, Joey was sent for an MRI scan in December 2021 which confirmed he had quadriplegic cerebral palsy affecting all his limbs. Helen said: "I was very emotional but they were happy tears and his video makes me cry, seeing how happy he was. The experience was perfect from start to finish."
