EDITORS COMMENTS
Primo Carnera, the renowned wrestler and former boxer, shares a heartwarming moment with Peggy Brindle and her daughter Susan in this photo print. Hailing from New York, USA, Primo Carnera has generously funded Susan's much-needed medical treatment in the UK. Born prematurely and blind, little Susan had exhausted all possibilities for help in America until Mrs. Brindle made the difficult decision to send her across the Atlantic 18 months ago. In an incredible turn of events, surgeons at London's esteemed Moorfields Hospital have successfully granted Susan perfect sight in her left eye. With hope still burning bright, they are determined to restore vision to her right eye as well. This photograph captures the poignant meeting between Susan and her benefactor for the very first time at his elegant Hotel in Kensington on September 6th, 1954. The image not only showcases Primo Carnera's immense generosity but also serves as a testament to human compassion and resilience during this era of sport and wrestling history. The 1950s marked a significant period where individuals like Primo Carnera transcended their professional achievements by extending helping hands towards those most vulnerable. This remarkable story reminds us that even amidst fame and success, it is our ability to make a positive impact on others' lives that truly defines our legacy.
