This weeks post really interested me because I love basketball and I really love stories about people over coming great obstacles. Tristan Willmott, age 14, was born in Hillsboro, New Hampshire with Mulibrey Nanism. This is a genetic disorder that effects your growth. Doctors expect he will grow to be 4-4.5 feet by the time he is 18. Tristan plays a guard on the Hillsboro-Deering High School Basketball team. The great part is that everybody supports him, his mother said that the other team cheers for him louder than his own. Tristan has had major improvement in skills during this basketball season. Before the season he attended all the open gyms the school had to offer, his mother said that he had worked really hard and he deserved a spot on the team.
