Cancer survivor Dugan Smith, 13, thrives with backward-facing leg

Boy Thrives with Backward-Facing Leg

Fostoria, Ohio's Dugan Smith loves baseball.

When the fourth-grader was diagnosed with bone cancer and told that leg amputation was his greatest hope of survival, his greatest fear was that he'd never round the bases again.

Three years later, Dugan is playing baseball again — thanks to an unusual cancer treatment that had his amputated leg re-attached backwards.

No better gift in life received
Than petals soft by love conceived
Blooming with a special flair
Because of all the love we share
