In the March e-edition of this publication we talked about six-year-old Caitlin’s fundraiser for a bionic arm to aid her independence as she grows. We have been blown away by the support we have received from the local community and further afield. We are both humbled and delighted that with this amazing support we have actually met our initial funding target in under 3 weeks! We are now hoping to continue to raise further funds to allow us to consider the longer term support of the Hero Arm by hopefully purchasing an extended warranty and also allow her to be able to get replacement covers and one day a bigger hand as she grows.

We have now booked an appointment to return to Open Bionics in August. It is planned that Caitlin will have a cast of her "little arm" taken and a socket made for her to try on the following day. We then have to wait around 8 weeks for the Hero Arm to be made. We are so excited and grateful to you all that Caitlin will now be able to get her Hero Arm and we will of course continue to keep you all updated. Thank you Wymondham! www.gofundme.com/f/caitlins-wish-for-a-hero-arm
