McCormick’s family told Channel 11 he has cerebral palsy. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CP is a group of disorders that affect a person’s ability to move and control their muscles. It is the most common motor disability in childhood.

The contraption features a tripod with a special rest for a rifle allowing McCormick to head into the woods and harvest a deer.

Like the post says, “Congrats Lucas on becoming a PA Trophy Taker!”
