Dante Marvin: Powerful advocate for other disabled children | Pride of Britain 2019

“I think my worst injury was when I broke both legs on Christmas Day – but it’s hard to remember as I have had 92 broken bones in total you know!” Dante Marvin reveals this astonishing fact with a grin on his face. It sums up the indomitable spirit of a youngster who inspires everyone he meets with his remarkable zest for life. Dante was born with brittle bone disease and scoliosis. He has spent most of his young life in and out of hospital for treatment, including painful rod replacement surgery in his legs. But he refuses to let it get him down. He tells everyone he meets: “There are no disabilities, only abilities.” He first became involved with the children’s charity Variety when his mum Rachel asked for help to buy a new wheelchair. During the home visit, Dante dazzled the assessor with his optimistic outlook and she asked him to speak at an event. Dante also visits other seriously ill and disabled children in hospital, not only bringing light and laughter to the wards, but also identifying children who could benefit from Variety’s support.
