Matthew Kelly introduces him as Simon.
'It's very brave of you to come out here,' said Matthew.
'Please tell the audience what happened?'
'Well' replies Simon 'about a year ago, I was driving with my uncle when
we had a really bad accident. Unfortunately my uncle was killed outright
but I survived. I was trapped in the car for six hours before I was
eventually cut free. The doctors had me in surgery for 12 hours but they
couldn't save my legs.'
'That's terrible. But I see you have legs now. Are they artificial?' asks Matthew.
'No, Matthew. While I was in hospital the doctors informed me that my uncle had died, but that his legs were fine - and with all the advances
in medical science, they could graft his legs onto my body. The operation
was successful. I have been having physiotherapy for six months and hope to be walking fully again by the end of the year.'
A huge round of applause erupts from the audience.
'That's an unbelievable story. So, who are you going to be?' asks Matthew.
'Tonight, Matthew, I am going to be Simon and Halfuncle'
