A 2-year-old Kansas boy with spina bifida has become a worldwide inspiration after a video showed him walking for the first time in September last year. A new video now shows him running.

Spina bifida is a birth defect that prevents the spinal cord from properly forming, and Roman, the boy, also had extra fluid in his brain, or hydrocephalus.
