Young Man's Passion for Sports Shines Despite Rare Disease

At the start of this clip, we see the words, “Meet Cash Harris, the 6-year-old with spina bifida who loves sports.” Cash is seen in his living room smiling at the camera and shooting a basketball at his mini hoop. The parents share about how Cash loves every sport. We see various moments of Cash in a wheelchair playing golf, at a baseball game, and swimming in the ocean. 

His dad shares that he loves how his son does not allow his disease to get in the way of his love for sports and activities. There is a flashback clip of Cash when he was first born in the hospital, and they share about his diagnosis. The mom teaches that it is where the spinal cord is not completely developed, and it causes nerve damage. Cash is therefore paralyzed on most of his body because of the lack of nerves. 

The dad reveals that when their boy was young, he loved basketball and football. They share that he plays wheelchair basketball as a sport. Chase is a fitness coach who helps Cash learn to navigate his unique challenges and helps him to grow stronger. The father shares that his wife is a pediatric nurse, and he is an exercise sports trainer, so they can help their son in a special way. They reveal the joy it has been to work with their son because he has such a positive and hard-working attitude to be an overcomer. This story will encourage you and remind you that our challenges and weaknesses can be used as beautiful strengths. Christ helps all believers in Him to be overcomes.

“For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4
