A heartwarming video of a little girl and her wonderful friends has touched a chord with thousands of people online. The video, shared by

According to an earlier video shared by

The clip that's now gone viral captures the exact moment Anu walks into school wearing her new sports blade for the first time. "That's your new pink leg?" one of her friends asks her. "Wow!" exclaims another. Some of them also give Anu big hugs. She is later shown running around the playground with one of her friends.

According to
BBC Midlands Today, Anu received the new blade after a special 1.5 million pounds funding following the Paralympics last year. However, with the funding running out, there is uncertainty if Anu's blade will be replaced as she grows.
