Benjyfishy and more send Christmas wishes to fan with Cerebral Palsy One young Fortnite player with cerebral palsy has received Christmas wishes from a number of professional players and the CEO of Epic Games, in one of the most heartwarming stories you\u2019ll see. The father of a young Fortnite player expressed his gratitude to professional players, after a number of them wished his son a happy Christmas. Finley, a huge Fortnite fan, is a primary school student from Manchester who suffers from cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is the name given to a group of permanent movement disorders, that exhibit themselves in early childhood. It is caused by unusual development or damage to the parts of the brain that control bodily movement. Anyone new to our journey. Finley has Cerebral Palsy and just overcome major surgery 6 months ago. We will beat CP and spread as much awareness as possible in the meantime. Thank you all for the RTs and tags. Its almost impossible to keep up \u2014 KingoCraigo (@kingocraigo) December 24, 2019 On Christmas Eve, Finley\u2019s father, a Twitch streamer known as \u2018KingoCraigo\u2019, tweeted to ask the Fortnite community to wish Finley a merry Christmas. \u201cAnyone new to our journey,\u201d Craigo said. \u201cFinley has Cerebral Palsy and [has] just overcome major surgery 6 months ago. \u201cWe will beat CP and spread as much awareness as possible in the meantime.\u201d Finley\u2019s surgery was to help him walk, something many people with cerebral palsy struggle with. The tweet promptly blew up, with over 2,000 retweets and 11,000 likes. Many fans were inspired by Finley\u2019s story and wanted to draw attention to it. Thankfully, a number of Fortnite pros got in touch with Finley, offering their Christmas wishes. British pro player Ben \u2018benjyfishy\u2019 Fish got in touch to wish Finley a merry Christmas. LETS GO BENJY. Thank you for wishing Fin a merry christmas. Means the world and he had tears this morning when I told him you wished him it. Thanks so much mate. Merry christmas and happy new year to you and your family \u2014 KingoCraigo (@kingocraigo) December 25, 2019 No way the WC champ wishing my kid a merry christmas. Thanks so much brother, means the world! Cant wait to tell him in the morning! Have a great Christmas \u2014 KingoCraigo (@kingocraigo) December 24, 2019 On a similar note, Fortnite World Cup Duos champion Emil \u2018Nyhrox\u2019 Pedersen also got in touch. The Norwegian superstar wished Finley a merry Christmas, much to his father\u2019s disbelief. Away from professional players, the CEO of Epic Games, Tim Sweeney, got in touch with the young Brit. The head honcho at Epic Games getting in touch was perhaps even more unexpected. Hey Tim, thanks so much for the well wishes. Have a great Christmas and new year \u2764 \u2014 KingoCraigo (@kingocraigo) December 25, 2019 \u201cThank you all for your lovely messages and messages for Finley,\u201d he said. \u201cMerry Christmas from mine, to yours.

The tweets serve as another example of how the gaming community can come together for good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
