Rhys Lloyd of Cooroy does not let his disability get in the way of his competitive nature
It takes him a few seconds, but with a determined frown and a bit of manoeuvring, Rhys Lloyd hooks his left arm over the swing and launches into the air.
This might seem an easy feat for most children, but the difference for six-year-old Rhys is that he has no left hand.
In theory, he should have to work twice as hard to do the things that most people take for granted.
But this little bundle of energy makes it all look relatively simple, effortlessly throwing and catching the football with his father and brother, picking up things from the ground, making sure he doesn’t miss out on anything in his childhood.
