August 26th 2007 marks the seventh anniversary of a new star appearing in the sky.
"Reach for the Stars"
Shine brightly, Son
'Walk of Life' is a biography, a story of courage, of humour and of caring. A Celebration.
The subject may not be well known.
BUT to many people he was very special.
He was Chris Barratt
'Walk of Life' tells the story of a young boy struck down by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy,
but just getting on with life. It tells the story of how a disability can be
overcome
and it tells of fun and laughter.
It tells of how many wonderful people
came to be associated with Chris
enriched his life and drew from his character.
It tells of how Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy robs someone of their physical
ability,
and sadly, tells of a poignant Millennium.
