Noah was born with Klippel-Trenaunay Syndrome, a rare congenital vascular disorder causing abnormal growth of soft and bone tissue resulting in his left leg being three centimeters longer and wider than his right leg. But after being surprised at his school, none of that mattered on a day where he was given free rein of the Panthers’ facilities, an afternoon of bowling with Newton and a night out at a Hornets game.
“Whenever I’m down, I can think of my time with Cam, and how special of a moment that was for me,” Noah said.
