UTICA, N.Y. — A little boy from upstate New York got to live out his dream of being a firefighter this week – even though he may never be able to walk on his own, the Utica Observer-Dispatch reported.

Six-year-old Teagan O’Grady, from Westmoreland, N.Y., has spastic diplegic cerebral palsy. He was born four months early, and only weighed 1 pound, 9 ounces, according to his father, Ryan O’Grady.

Three weeks after his birth, Teagan stopped breathing, and the lack of oxygen to his brain caused him to develop cerebral palsy.
