A video of a little girl taking her first steps has become a viral sensation.
What makes this occasion so momentous is that the child suffers from Cerebral Palsy. This crippling condition affects people from birth. People with Cerebral Palsy suffer from a host of physical disabilities that make it difficult to even walk unassisted at all.
The little girl is already 6-years-old, making her first steps even more special.
Up until this moment, the girl from Sydney, Australia had relied on a walker or cane to get around on her own.

They constantly have to battle with new health concerns as well as the resulting effects of depression and anxiety. These resilient children have to fight to reach every goal, just like the little girl in this heartwarming video.
After the girl takes her second step, she looks up at her parents with a look of amazement. It is obvious that she is very proud of her personal accomplishments. And she should be!
