Selfless paralysed man gives up chance to walk again - by donating £20,000 to disabled five-year-old

courtesy of the men's group



A selfless paralysed man who raised £20,000 has sacrificed his dream of walking again - by giving all the cash to a disabled child.

Dan Black, 25, was left wheelchair-bound following an horrific cycling accident in 2009.

He and his family have spent the last four years fundraising to pay for pioneering stem cell treatment that could help him walk again.

But Dan has now given up his hope of getting back on his feet after he read about the plight of five-year-old Brecon Vaughan.
