Timmy Bannon is an amazing 11-year-old boy who has a closer-than-average bond with his mother. Both Timmy and his mother Linda were born with Holt-Oram syndrome which is a genetic disorder causing arm abnormalities as well as heart problems. In the case of Timmy and Linda, they were both born without arms. Because Linda was always treated as any normal kid by her parents, she treats her son the same way. The mother-son duo both use their feet as good as anyone can use their hands. Linda has thrived in life, earning her elementary education degree before marrying her husband Richard and having Timmy. Linda has no doubts that her son will be able to achieve the same successes. Timmy has already become super active and is even participating in swimming.
