World’s Largest Gathering Of Primordial Dwarfs

Barcroft TV

A CHARITY in the UK has organised the world's largest ever gathering of primordial dwarfs. There is thought to only be around 200 individuals globally with primordial dwarfism - which leaves people extremely short in stature but with their bones and organs in proportion to their bodies, unlike with other types of dwarfism. Thirty five (35) primordial dwarfs flew into Liverpool from all around the world to meet others like them and help raise awareness of the hyper-rare condition. The Walking With Giants Foundation (WWGF), founded by Sue and John Connerty, from Liverpool, have been running the week-long convention for nine years.
