Caeden Thompson is a seven year old boy from Northamptonshire who last week conquered Ben Nevis to raise money for disability equality, charity scope and his local hospital.

When Caeden was born his parents were told he would never be able to sit, walk or talk. Caeden’s mum says, “Caeden’s life began with a huge struggle, stress and a feeling of the unknown. He is a very happy boy who tries his very best not to lethis disability stop him from keeping up with his two older siblings and his friends. He told us that he is so happy for all the things he has in his life that he wants to give back.”

Mum said that caeden wated “to inspire and empower others that just because you’ve got a physical disability doesn’t mean you’re not capable.”

The climb took 13.5 hours up and down. Caeden says, “My body hurts a lot but I’m ok. It was really really hard. I felt sick and exhusted at the top and I felt exhausted and happy at the bottom.”

Caeden aimed to raise £8000 and his total at the time of writing is £17, 425.
