Watch priceless moment family of Leukaemia survivor feared they would never see

Three-year-old Gaurav Bains spent almost six months recovering from a stem cell transplant. His proud parents released the footage through the Birmingham Mail to encourage people to join the bone marrow register

This is the priceless moment a Midland family feared they would never see.

Brave toddler Gaurav Bains takes his first steps after a lifesaving stem cell transplant.

The three-year-old spent almost six months recovering from the operation but was recorded as he learned to walk all over again.

His proud mum Gurprit said: It was overwhelming seeing him walk it was just as precious as when he took his first ever steps.

He still needs physiotherapy because his muscles tightened as he spent three months in a hospital bed.

The touching family footage showed Gaurav, from Tipton, wobbling from side to side as he regained his independence.

Gurprit and her husband Sunny filmed it last month at the family-owned business, Bains Supersave.

They released it through the Birmingham Mail in a bid to boost the number of volunteers joining the bone marrow register.

Recent figures claimed the West Midlands was among the worst areas of the country for new recruits, with just 0.66 per cent of residents on the list.
