But we could not think it was because of a fracture. But when he did not stop crying for more than an hour, we took him to a doctor&amp;amp;nbsp;who told about his condition and that there is no cure for the disease. Doctors even told us that he might not survive for long as he is very a&amp;amp;nbsp;delicate child and protecting him always would not be possible&amp;quot;   After 11 years of struggle, Moin&amp;#039;s parents met Umesh Kalaghatage who is a renowned swimming coach in disabled category.
