Seven Year-Old Flyers Fan Gets Surprise Visit from Gritty in Hospital
Flyers fan, Caiden O’Rourke got a big surprise Tuesday morning when Gritty paid a visit! Caiden is a patient at Philadelphia’s Shriners Hospital for Children after he was born with a rare orthopedic condition.
Caiden has two prosthetic legs and asked for a custom Gritty themed prosthetic. Cue Gritty to deliver Caiden with his Gritty themed prosthetic leg and a custom Flyers jersey with his name on the back.
The look on this 7-year-old's face is priceless.
