Rafael was diagnosed with primary lymphoedema when he was a baby. His mum named him after Rafael Nadal as she liked the name. Little was she to know that, despite the extra challenges he faces, young Raphael would would grow up to love playing and watching tennis. Here he is at Wimbledon this week, with Professor Mortimer, meeting two times Wimbledon Champion and namesake Rafa Nadal. They are both champions in our book.

This is a lovely example of a joyous magic moment!

Brilliant !

Good luck young Rafa. What an exciting experience.

Now how to get this meeting out in the national press to highlight Rafa's kindness and publicise Lymphoedma ?!
