When my 7 year old son Harvey-James will walk out as City’s match day mascot with his favourite player Carlos Tevez, I nearly lost the little fella at just 9 months old when he was seriously ill with Meningococcal septicaemia, Meningitis, Harvey-James faced unbelievable adversity at such a young age and was given a very slim chance of making any sort of recovery but the little fella battled through thick and thin and some very dark times to make an almost full recovery, Harvey lost a 3rd of each foot and some digits on each hand and now walks unaided with the help of prosthetic feet, He has amazing strength and courage in everything he does and to see him walk out tomorrow when be an amazing experience for both Harvey and me.

Cant even start to imagine what you and your family must have been through. I feel proud every time I take my son and grandon into the molineux with me, so I know how proud you will be to see him out on the pitch. Good luck to you for tomorrow, and will be thinking of you come kick off.

And I still remember it like it was yesterday

Have a great day out. For the wee man to come through such adversity is quite inspiring. If he can cope with all he's been through at such a young age he's well set up for the trials and tribulations of being a City fan.
Both my boys were mascots in their younger years at Grimsby Town and the memories have stayed with them, so I hope you wee lad does the same.

Mark,

Sorry I missed this before the game kicked off and so I guess I won't get to see the great event now. Wish you and your great lad a super day at the game.....
