Boy Given 1% Survival Chance Walks 5K
A boy who was shot in the head as a baby and nearly died is preparing to walk a 5k for the hospital that saved his life.
Harry Studley was 18 months old in 2016 when a 24-year-old neighbor, while cleaning his air rifle, aimed it at the crying toddler, thinking it was unloaded. The pellet lodged in Harry’s brain, causing a displaced skull fracture, swelling, and bleeding.
Harry was given a one percent chance of survival but beat the odds. However, he still deals with epilepsy, partial blindness, weakness, and some cognitive challenges. Now nine, Harry and his father, Ed, will participate in the Grand Walk for the Grand Appeal on Sunday, September 15th, to raise money for Bristol Royal Hospital for Children in England.
The family has created a JustGiving page for donations.
