A teenager who was left paralysed after his spinal cord "turned to mush" could have his dreams of walking again realised -- with the help of robotic suit.

Mark Sweeney, 18, has undergone 125 brain and spinal surgeries and became paralysed six years ago during an operation to reduce a cyst on his spine.

At just 12-years-old Mark was left "devastated" at the thought of never being able to walk again and thought his dream of becoming an actor had been crushed.

But now the lad from Motherwell, North Lanarkshire, is attempting to raise £80,000 to buy a bionic suit which would help him walk again.
