The Mother Was Born With The Rare Condition…

She is said to have a rare hereditary condition known as Holt-Oram syndrome, which affects bone growth and can cause heart problems.

She Refuses To Be Felt Pity On Due To Her Condition…

Mrs Bannon refuses to let her disability get in the way of her living a normal life. She uses her feet in place of her hands.

She Grew Up Like A Regular Kid…

She grew up like any other kid. She never felt handicapped or less when compared to others. She started doing her day-to-day chores without her arms. Her parents brought her up just like her other siblings.

Her Husband Simply Loves Her…

She says her husband Richard was not fazed by her disability when they met and they are happily married since 2004.

About Her Son, She Says…

'I knew from scans he was going to be born without arms. We were understandably concerned, but I wasn't too daunted as I knew he'd be able to live a normal life like me.'

Her Positive Attitude Is What Her Son Has Got As Well

The mother has passed on her inspirational attitude to her son Timmy who can swim, regularly, he takes taekwondo classes and plays video games like any other boy of his age - all this by just using his toes to grip the controller.

He Is A Born Champion!

He relishes doing all sorts of physical activities, both indoor and outdoor. He is an extrovert and loves socialising.

His Mum Adds On…

She is surely a proud mum, as she adds on, "He likes being outside, he definitely likes being very psychically active as much as he can be." She also further said, "Swimming, [riding] the modified bicycle-when we got that for him he was very excited because that meant he could keep up with everyone else on the trails."

They Wish To Be An Inspiration To The World…

The mother-son duo do not shy away from their condition and instead wish to be an inspiration to the world. She added, "I think it really shows the power of the human spirit. A lot of people will see someone with such a severe physical condition and think, 'How is it possible to do all the things they've done?' It gives [people] hope that even though they have challenges, as long as they have a positive attitude about it, then they'll be able to conquer the same challenges."
