2-year-old girl who lost legs in lawn mower accident attends Shriner Christmas party
by David Jay - KTVQ
Sunday, the Shriners hosted their annual Christmas Party at Shrine Auditorium.
One of the 150 guests was two-year old Addison Benson, who lost her legs below the knee in a lawn mower accident on July 27th. A Shriner who lives in Laurel called the Bensons three days later.
"It's just amazing they came to us first to help us out," said Syd Benson, Addison's father.
Addison is walking with the use of prosthetics. Her father says she is doing well with her recovery and just about ready to run.
"It's awesome," said Bill Lewis, Potentate for the Al Bedoo Shrine. "It's tear jerking when you see what we do for kids. That's why we're Shriners."
"The support network that's received from the community is just a huge blessing," Benson said. "Couldn't say more about the community and the Shriners."
