Local tourism officials flew Cieran and his family to the aquarium from England after a year of planning. His parents had a hard time keeping the surprise a secret for so long! They told Cieran that the trip was just going to be a business trip for his father Gary, and it wasn’t until they were halfway there that flight attendants announced that the trip was actually for Cieran to meet Winter!
Cieran caught a disease that cost both of his legs and most of his fingertips. He still loves to play sports like soccer and gymnastics with his friends, but it’s taken him a little longer to learn how to swim. To help him catch up with his friends, Cieran’s father Gary, with the help of a prosthetic specialist, created prosthetic flippers so that Cieran could move just like his idol, Winter.
“His first words when he saw the Gary were ‘Winter’s disabled, just like me. It’s just been a dolphin in a film for a long time and now it’s real… It’s just a dream come true,’ ” said Gary. Once in the tank he fed Winter fish and played with her for more than an hour. And he said he could have swum “for a million hours” if he was allowed to!
After the swim Cieran announced he wants to work at the aquarium so that he can always look after Winter, his new best friend. “The feeling was great and emotional to be swimming with a dolphin. I love dolphins. But the best dolphin I’ve ever loved is Winter,” he said.
