A CHARITY in the UK has organised the world's largest ever gathering of primordial dwarfs. There is thought to only be around 200 individuals globally with primordial dwarfism - which leaves people extremely short in stature but with their bones and organs in proportion to their bodies, unlike with other types of dwarfism. Thirty five (35) primordial dwarfs flew into Liverpool from all around the world to meet others like them and help raise awareness of the hyper-rare condition. The Walking With Giants Foundation (WWGF), founded by Sue and John Connerty, from Liverpool, have been running the week-long convention for nine years.

As an Aussie, can confirm 85% of our defence budget goes to Leo
We need a hero to protect us from the covid nazis
@@alexander-mauricemillamlae4567 please share
@@shiniquajones2812 that's good. If Leo is against covid then heaven can't be far behind. Repent. Love you. Don't take the Mark of the Antichrist
The BEST comment! 😍
@@Holy-Rowlo88 this isn’t the mark, Kel, but I understand what you’re saying and we certainly need to be aware from now on….God bless and keep us all x
I'm from Australia and I can confirm Leo is superman and he does protect our country.
I can also confirm that
It's November 2020 now. How is Leo?
@@lolacat2420 so far Australia has had no issues so i assume he is stil out there protecting us in some way.
Yep, I can confirm that too!
I ALMOST DIED YESTERDAY WHY DIDNT HE TRY TO SAVE ME
Aaww, when he started to cry, I couldn't hold in my tears no longer. He and his wife are angels on earth❤Those children are beautiful along their parents.
Most of them aren't even children 😅😶
Yep, that’s the part that go me to. So inspiring to see normal people who are faced with a huge life-challenge, turn around and do something remarkable with it to help other facing the same thing. Makes me wonder what I could be doing with the challenges in my own life besides complain about them.
No, most of them are children. You could tell that by the age of the parents. But also, people with primordial dwarfism tend not to live beyond 30.
Really? How awful for the poor parents 😢
Everytime I loose faith in humanity, I see something like this. God bless everyone involved.
Same here.
Amen to that.
My strange addiction is watching these kind of videos for no reason
Kevin you are not alone. Especially in the wee hours!
Same
Sammme 😂😂😂😂😂
. @@roreken9641 Maybe he's just plain fascinated born of curiosity. I don't find anything negative about that.
Only ignorant people are. @Samantha Cole
"I really am super man! I protect the people... Of Australia." Lol! Best line ever! It's too much to protect the world so going country by country is way more feasible! These families are awesome! All the best to them Xx

J.London mos def
J.London hes being realistic. i laughed so hard when he mention australia. so freaking cute. seem like i have to find my own superman now.
hy
J.London you are not Superman Superman is not real ha ha dab you are acting like you are King it's not funny🙎🏼♂️
As a 90s baby, i will say I’m so happy the internet made this possible for them to meet all together😭😭😭💖
I do not know anyone with this condition but I gotta say these people doing this are absolutely INCREDIBLE as are the kids and adults with this condition absolutely INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEINGS.
When that little girl fit into that yellow bucket, I lost it😣😭😭😭
Life of Kiii I died she was ADORABLE!!!
IKR she’s an adorable kid! After hearing that she didn’t walk until they came to the event, it’s wonderful to see her running to play with other kids.
kiiidollasign what time in the vid?

BlueLightThe MUSICAL Oh, thank you
Leo used to go to my school in Australia. I'm glad he is doing well.
I bet he was a cool dude
@@mynameismmandimheretosay7979 why u think he is ded?
@@ThePsychosis92 i dont think thats what they meant. i think they're referring to that he was a cool dude in school
Must have been tough for them during the pandemic not having been able to have their yearly meetup. Hope they are all doing as well as they can
I find it phenomenal that there are only 200 cases and these people found 35 of them. That's 35 less people who feel alone. Way to go guys!! This is amazing!
So much respect for the couple that set this up! What wonderful people. The world needs more like them
Yeah but no more reproducing
@@dbags317 Bug off!
"I really am superman. I protect the people of Australia." ❤️❤️😂😘
I really liked that part as well. He really does believe that he is superman, and he has every right to believe that. :)
Mi piace questo video pero poverino questi bambini 😬😬😬😬😞😞😞😞😞😞
Sweet
Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi - he does us proud.
That was an awwww moment
That was so damn cute: “I really AM Superman. Yeah. I protect the people of Australia” lol awesome kid
I remember seeing Alex years ago on
here...How he's grown! Major respect for his parents.Instead of sitting back
worrying they have organized this convention...Dad,your son's legacy will benefit so many ❤ Praying for good health and long life for your
family.
only time you'll ever see the words "largest" and "primordial dwarf" in the same sentance.... Nah but all joking aside, this was a touching video and I've got the utmost respect for that fella for doing this. Together they are stronger.
On point 👌
wertrocks123
wertrocks123 hey
wertrocks123
My mind went there too lol but same so much respect for them all coming together for each other
Aww, the father at the end... it's okay to cry. It's lovely to see how emotional you can get when talking about your amazing son.
All of these parents are tough cookies!
Well done to the couple who founded and run this great event. It’s good to know there are still good kind people out there
The little red headed girl is the absolute cutest thing in the entire world
I remember when she was the focus of a TV show about this type of dwarfism. She is absolutely adorable, I agree!
The kid from australia seems like a cool guy... I'd like to meet him
+Parker Barandon His name is Leo Lagana and he's around 16.
I live in Australia and I am 99% sure he used to go to my school he is a really nice guy but it was sad that he got bullied a lot. everyone used to call him "little Leo". I am really happy to see that he is doing well. :)
I would like to meet him too. He seems (excuse the pun) down to earth and very approachable. I suspect that he is an affable teenage boy and highly intelligent despite his seemingly childlike stature from a distance. I hope he finds solace in whatever field he will ultimately engage in when he enters the workforce. 🤗
P.S.
Why would anyone bully little people?
I could understand if they had a peculiar trait or behaviour issue but not for being small statured. That is wrong on so many levels.😖
@BlindBear you are absolutely right!
I experienced terrible bullying from my first moment at school. To the point where I just wanted to die. The one thing it did for me though is I will never stand by & let anyone get bullied.
Who would dislike this
+Ismael Lopez wankers! -_-
people without a life
+Sochilinda best comment I have seen all year
giants!
Assholes would disliike this
All these parents are absolutely amazing, going wayyyy out of their way even flying out to make sure their kid gets to experience others like them. I'm so amazed by their parenting skills. The parents who put on this event, holly crap he deserves father of the year award. I don't even have kids and I'm totally inspired by their attitude, hope every one of those kids achieve great success and happiness. After all happiness is success..
these kids are beautiful gifts they give such a happy and cheerful vibe
faith in humanity restored! is anyone cutting onions?
lol true it's heart warming
+Tom A. what the crap? what is wrong with you?
@Tom A. there not comedys are you sick
Yessssssss this broke me
'I really am superman, I protect the people of Australia' made me burst in tears
@bigboy what is your problem bruh
Seeing these wonderful families working together to create a better world for all of us to live in just brings me to tears. Human beings can create miracles when we're committed to living in the light. Blessings on you all.
Primordial Dwarfs are so adorable and have the cutest voices. Such precious human beings.
They don't live long.so it's more sad than precious.
My heart melted. They are all so precious! I just wanted to cuddle Emma she is so beautiful!
if we all looked exactly alike how boring would that be? each individual has something unique to gift the world with
IKR
Oh yeah! It really must be amusing to have primordial dwarfism in order to be different! Well, yes, you get physical deformality but that is nothing compared to LOOKING ORIGINAL! (please if you have nothing clever to say, then don't say anything, just shut up. This is not any hate speech towards people affected by this kind of illness, it's just to say how stupid your comment is).
@@jocao2831 Why don't we just accept a well-meant comment and focus that bitterness on the hateful ones?
@@jocao2831 I do agree, I really don't understand this misunderstanding of what difference is. Why would a world made of healthy people be boring ?
It's like saying "Fortunately some people are physically disabled, otherwise I wouldn't be entertained" :/ I know the original comment did not mean that, but someone could read it this way.
What exists for these people nowadays is amazing but If there was a solution to cure them, that would be a crime not to do it. It's important not to forget that this situation is not normal, the real issue is to think that not being normal makes you worth less. That's my opinion.
(And I know the first comment was well-intentioned, the topic just deserves to be developed)
That's why God created us different boomerang the heavens
Wouldve liked to hear a little more from the children of the interviewed parents.
Especially from our hero Leo.
He has a fb where you can hear his philosophy
@@dbags317 Oh thank you for the info! I may check later
I'm glad to see parents having these events for each other and the kids can meet other friends. That they're excepted by. Really touches the heart we all need a buddy.
I don't know anyone in this condition, but I'm crying my eyes of 'cause I'm so happy for all the families that they can be happy and get support from each other ! it's important to any human to get support in any situation! Keep going all you lovely people
This is beautiful. Moments like this make me extremely proud to be human.
I'm so glad to see Alex in this one. He looks amazing. His parents are amazing. If they hadn't gone out themselves and found the Little People convention and then the doctors there, he wouldn't have had any help.
Seriously? Shame on the people who down voted this story of love, hope, understanding, and togetherness. Must be pretty sad to feel that way! Kudos to the family who started this foundation! God bless all of you! 💜
It really annoys me that people are commenting saying that all these kids are really adorable. They might be small but they don't necessarily have the mind of babies so it isn't right to degrade them by treating them like them.
That's some damn amazing people right there. Very inspirational.
1:48 jeez for being that tiny that kid can run pretty fast
This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for sharing about this charity, really. I will share with friends and famy! Is truly incredible what they're doing xx
Emma was so damn cute!
Right?!😍
ikr!!!
She's adorable!
yes she is
That little baby was so fucking cute!
This family is SO amazing to help others. 😘😘 brings tears to my eyes
Awwww beautiful kids, beautiful People! Amazing vid!
This is so amazing. I remember when I watched this couple when they were raising money for their first convention and I’m so proud of them and it brings me comfort knowing how far they have come and that they continue to raise awareness and bring these family’s together. These little people are beautifully unique
Leo is my little superman! #australia
yassssssssss
i know leo to he was the one in the grey jumper
Do you know how old he is?:)
+maria söderström like 15 -16
yep!! his Australian accent is so cute too!
omg when kid put the birdie on his head! it was bigger than him, so cute!
THEY'RE SO SMALL AND CUTE AND POCKET SIZED

Pocket-sized Humans, only 99 cents. Only at Dollar Tree!
@@mynameismmandimheretosay7979 da hell
How can you not recognize this behavior as rude, condescending, and dehumanizing. Grow up.
This is so dehumanising. Please think about what you're saying.
0:56 omg that face just makes you smile🥰
Oops, some people like this video so much they turned their phone around and liked again.
RosaClifford perfect 😂
This is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. This actually made me cry.
Same your mean.
I love how happy everyone is. The two that started this are angels on Earth!!! 🌍🌎🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍
I love that you have turned something kind of unknown into such a positive experience for these children and their families! So much love and support to all!
It would be terrifying to me to be with all those kids.. not because they are different but because they seem so fragile and I would want to protect them all. I would want to bash every bully in the face and take the beating for these darlings. Its amazing the things people can do for the world even the smallest things make the biggest difference. Keep up the good work
I agree. I also love the the charity name "walking with Giants"
bullies are sick in the bad way , follow bullies at #loser .com. that's wat bullies are to me
Riinathrate Hun'tlar i'm hot

I'd just feel uncomfortable being taller than everyone else.
No words can describe how amazing evrybody is in that video. God bless you all, if all humans where dwarfs we wouldnt have that much hate and wars. They are the normal humans for me.
+DeadLittlePunkDoll how??? JUST LIKE THAT
+Claude Kfoury yeah we wouldn't have any wars or hate because the fucking wildlife would have eaten us all.
+Eternal Odyssey nothing is wilder then humans bro.size dont matter.humans are savages.just look at ur reply and look at the miror and u will see wildlife.
Claude Kfoury whatever you say buttercup, go back to your safe space now.
+Eternal Odyssey thank you sweet pie.vote trump.
Sue and John you are beautiful souls. Not feeling alone in our difference is something magic. Thank you so much for what you do. Someone had to raise their hand and you both did.
Bless this family that founded the WWGF!!!!
I swear to god this is the cutest damn thing I've ever seen!
I swear to god you are the ugliest damn thing I’ve ever seen!
@@baseballdude155 u OK there
I agree with ya theyre so adorable
Is it to cute that you won't live past 30?
Congratulations on 2 million subscribers by the way

What a lovely charity ❤ What amazing parents ❤ I'm going to donate after watching this heart-warming video.
Thank you Sue and John for all your hard work and dedication. 🙋♀️🇬🇧
I love the name of the organization! That is clever! Great cause for people who need to know they are never alone! :)
emma from holland????? GIVE ME MORE BARCROFT
Good on you guys for making this event. It's so important for everyone to feel a connection.
My heart is happy for all these families to come together. Sending all of you positive vibes. 🌈☮️💞
simply amazing on how people travel from all over the world, those families are wonderful to do this for their children.
Best video I ever clicked on! this is the type of stuff I like to see!
0:28 the little boy omg so cute
What a great network all walks of life to share the love and joy of their children. God bless you. Your beautiful. Xxx
anyone else see baby Charlotte in the video and just gets so happy she is lovely
Muffin lover I love Charlotte too! She is so cute with her red hair! What a beautiful video!
Charlotte! I'm happy to see that she's doing well. ♡
Such beautiful babies. The connections you make with others who can help find the answers, it’s just so important. It’s incredible what this couple has done ♥️
Leo's confidence is top-notch. He's an adorable superman! Love and light to them all. Touched by the love, laughter and kindness. I'm touched by the tears.
Absolute positive proof that the world was once a beautiful magical place.
A world filled with dwarfs?
Thomas edwin These are still just people, like everyone else. Things were the same in past in terms of the numbers of people with different disabilities. There was never some magical 'Golden Age' where fairies sat in the court of the King and dwarfs lived in cabins in the woods...
@@MsCherade9 damn. Well that's what I was hoping for.
@@letters_from_paradise there are no such thing as dwarves stupid
3:45 Best moment!!
Wow! I'm up at 1:30 am and I really enjoyed this video. Very informative. I'm glad that Sue and John brought everyone together.
Thank you for supporting these sweet souls
i can`t understand why some people disliked this video
Wonderful to see a convention and charity, thank you for posting. I have learned something new.
Too much cuteness in one video ❤️
Watching this video made me feel very humble. I fell in love with the boy running around like any child enjoying a game of football and felt for every family there. My Nephew had a rare condition with only 20 known cases in the world when he was born. Told he would not reach his first birthday he died just after his fifteenth and met every challenge with grace, humour and bravery. I look up to any child, born unique who reaches for the stars that we can only gaze at from afar. Love and blessing to each of them from someone who knows just how amazingly special each of you are xxxxxxxx
This is an amazing video, and an amazing gathering. To see this families going through this so strong and supportive is hart warming and beautiful, they are all amazing and I wish the best for them.
This brought a tear to my eye
how wonderful, john and sue you have done a fantastic job creating this charity
How awesome of them to put together this Gathering to make everybody feel like they're not alone. More things like this needs to happen in this crazy world.
These two are wonderful people
these comments piss me off, why can't the human species realize that not everyone is going to be born the same way. There has to be diversity among the species, even disabilities and genetic disorders, it actually helps to understand the human body, I just wish all you people who feel sorry for them could just go live on a planet where everyone is the same in everyway, then maybe you'll find a way to talk down about something else
yass, this comment is on point.
preach it
they still look like aliens
+Blither Aardvark Fuck you Blither
Your Majesty It's what makes humans special and different otherwise the world would be boring!
It’s so good that families who are affected by this are getting the right support.👍🏻
That little guy running in the feild is really beautiful to see , god bless these people
this is the cutest thing ever❤❤😍😍😍
Awww they are soo adorable!!!
All the little people are one of the worlds biggest blessing. I love this video and its cause to bring knowledge towards serving these precious and extraordinary people walking among giants.
so great to more and more programs like this come out . it not only helps the parents but also helps the kids with day to day things .you two are one of the greatest people in the world today keep it up and so there not someone to be sad about but to be happy with and enjoy them everyday .
Leo is my superman he's strong and brave 😊❤️
THEYRE ALL SO CUTE OMG
So glad these families have these gatherings to support each other and the kids can just have fun together. God bless all these families.
I just love seeing people with the same issue, hanging out together, so they're all friends and they're all understanding of eachother
I like what they are doing for them😢😢😢
This makes my heart happy :) this is a great organization. It would be hard to grow up with something that only a small handful of people have & not knowing anyone dealing with the same thing.
Humanity is alive and well world wide. Thanks for sharing.
Love how they all get together because it's always nice to know your not alone
