He Beat Meningitis

UK -- A Workington boy who beat meningitis has now achieved his black belt in karate, according to timesandstar.co.uk.

13-year-old Sonny Smith, of Harrington, competed for the belt on Sunday and passed the test.

He was given a slim chance of survival after contracting meningitis when he was seven and it left him tired and weak.

Sonny started attending karate classes with his friends at the martial arts center and his confidence and strength grew.
