Boy Given 1% Chance of Survival Walks 5k for Hospital That Saved Him–After Air Rifle Shot to the Head as Baby

nnA boy who nearly died after he was shot in the head as a baby is now set to walk a 5k for the hospital that saved him.nnHarry Studley was just 18-months-old when a 24-year-old neighbor was cleaning his air rifle in 2016 and aimed it at the crying toddler, saying he thought it was unloaded. The pellet lodged in Harry’s brain causing a displaced skull fracture, as well as swelling and bleeding on the brain.nnHarry was given a one percent chance of survival, but pulled through. He was left with serious conditions, though, and still suffers epilepsy, partial blindness, weakness, and some cognitive issues.nnNow nine, Harry and his dad Ed will take part in the Grand Walk for the Grand Appeal on Sunday, September 15th, raising money for Bristol Royal Hospital for Children in England.nnHis family has set up a JustGiving fundraising page for people to donate.nn“Five kilometers may not seem like a lot to some, but for Harry it’s a huge challenge as he still struggles with his mobility and gets very tired.nn“The Bluebell Ward at Bristol Children’s Hospital is a neurosurgery unit. Without the amazing care and hard work by the staff on that ward, Harry wouldn’t be here today.nn“In 2016, Bluebell was our home for 4 months after Harry was shot in the head with a air rifle. He was given a one percent chance of survival, but with the determination of our family and the great work and care from the Bluebell staff Harry survived.nn
