Jacob wants an Iron Man Hero Arm<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Me and Mummy went to an event and there I saw a stand with lots of different prosthetic arms and hands which was very cool, but then I saw an actual real life IRON MAN ARM! I ran over and it was a real robotic superhero arm called ‘Hero Arm’ made by Open Bionics. It was the coolest arm I’ve ever seen, that’s when i asked my Mummy if I could have this arm, then i’ll be a real life Superhero! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tJacob's crowdfunding campaign<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Billy is nearly ten years old now and all he wants is to be like his friends. He thought that one day his arm would grow to be the same as the left one and that he would grow fingers too.

Help quad amputee Michael get a Hero Arm<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Between 2012 and 2017 l had 20 to 30 operations resulting in having both legs amputated and both hands amputated. It\u2019s the first time I\u2019ve actually written that down. I’m finding it quite difficult.<\/p>\n

I think and hope a Hero Arm would greatly improve my quality of life. The list is endless, l used to love fishing l would be able to hold a fishing rod, just being able to pick things up with my right hand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tRead Michael's bionic journey <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
