‘Mercy dash boy’ Aiden Brown has lost both of his feet and part of his fingers after a life-threatening bout of severe viral pneumonia. The seven year old fell ill in November 2008 and was flown to the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne for specialist treatment. In March 2009, Aiden took his first steps on his new prosthetic feet at Princess Margaret Hospital.
Aiden’s parents, Nadia and Michael, have spent all their savings to save their little boy. The financial stress placed upon the entire Brown family has been enormous. Hearing the South Guildford family’s plight, WA Charity Direct swung into action and purchased a brand new Hyundai i30 with the help of Mandurah Hyundai.
