Thumbs up The resilience of children!

Just brilliant!

LIFE for Ellie May Challis is the same as any other girl her age.
The five-year-old attends primary school each day and goes to a number of after-school clubs. But Ellie May, who lost both her hands and legs to meningitis when she was a toddler, is proof that no obstacle has to prevent her seizing the day.
In April, Ellie May hit the headlines by becoming the youngest person in the world to be fitted with special carbon-framed limbs, made for her at a cost of £10,000.
Mrs Challis said the legs had changed Ellie May’s life.
She added: “Before, her movement was much more limited. But now the first thing she asks for when she wakes up is her legs.”
Ellie May got the chance to test her legs out against Paralympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius, nicknamed Blade Runner – and beat him in each race!


Superb pictures of bikes in Yellowstone etc here. Well worth a click.

Proof IMO that god doesn't exist.
What sort of a sick deity would take a childs limbs.

Great to see that she's doing well, kids are awesome.

Either she's fucking fast for a five year old or the race was rigged.

Same age as my little 'un so brings a lump to my throat to see it, but the kid's got a smile that could light up a room. Her parents should be proud as punch.

Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.

Kids can be very humbling. Faced with what we would consider to be no hope and the world against you, children just get on with it and accept life as normal. What an inspiration and a wonderful little girl, shame her uncle's a thieving cunt though - wanker.

The devil took the limbs and made the uncle nick the money.

God came up with the carbon leg things and made her smile.

Lying outrageously on the internet since 2002.

The uncle is not the only scumbag in this case. How do they justify £10,000 for a couple of bits of plastic?
It makes Ducati look cheap.

If I had all the money I'd spent on drink....I'd spend it on drink

That man is massive cunt, bigger then most cunts there have ever been in fact. Unluckily he looks like a fat downer so no one will want to rape the fat ugly cunt in prison. And his wife, who easily new about it, deserves a good kicking. Cunts.
