A YOUNG boy valiantly battling a debilitating condition is preparing to tackle a walking challenge to raise money for life-changing therapy. Joel Porter, who is just two years old, was diagnosed in March with spastic diplegic cerebral palsy, which affects his legs and ability to walk unaided. Despite this, the young fighter is now readying himself to embark on a pier to pier stroll - from Clacton Pier to Walton Pier - over a distance of about seven miles. Due to his condition, Joel will use his specialist walker and attempt the challenge alongside his mum Hannah Chaplin, 26 and his dad Mitchel Porter, 26.
