Girl Told She May Never Walk Plays In Snow Thanks To Ingenious Hack

A girl with cerebral palsy who was told she may never walk was able to enjoy snow for the first time - thanks to an ingenious idea by her uncle to add pool noodles to the base of her walker. While Winter Storm Orlena brought much of the Northeast U.S. to a halt, the Durborow family saw it as an opportunity for Colbie, aged three, to experience playing in snow for the first time. The youngster received media attention in 2020, as, having been told by doctors she may never walk, she learned to use her stroller with the aid of grandmother Eleanor, 91, who has one, too. But snow posed a bigger problem - that was, until Colbie’s uncle, Dan Goldstein, suggested adding pool noodles to the base of her walker, creating a ski-like system. Colbie’s dad, Colin, followed the advice as part of a team effort, and, as a result, Colbie was able to slide her walker across the snow, rather than having legs get stuck at every step. In the wholesome footage, Colbie is seen giggling as she strolls around in the powder outside her home, in Farmingdale, New Jersey. The moment took place on Sunday evening, January 31, with Colbie's mom, Amanda, later sharing the footage online.
