Outstanding penmanship award goes to... the boy with no hands

Well done, Nick: Ten- year-old Nicholas Maxim during the assembly at Readfield Elementary School in Readfield, Maine at which he received the award in his nameHe once wanted to know why he couldn't ask Santa Claus to give him arms and legs.

Now Nicholas Maxim has proved that he doesn't need either, by winning a national award for handwriting - despite not having hands.

The fifth-grader at Readfield Elementary School in Maine writes - in cursive, no less - by holding a pencil between his arms, which end just above where the elbow should be. | Mail Online
