Dad Adam, 32, from Kings Lynn, Norfolk, who gave her a little hand, said: "We're so proud of our little girl.

"She did absolutely brilliantly and everybody was so happy for her.

"She's a medical wonder and we're so excited that she's going to take part in another event next month, Parallel London."

Delighted mum Lucy, 36, added: "She's done an amazing job and we couldn't be any more proud of her.

"We refused to believe the NHS physio who said she had reached her full potential - this shows what motivation and a loving home can really do.

"Everybody who meets her loves her, she's like a little ray of sunshine.
