'We'd love her to do things normal children can do'

Imogen Watson was born with part of her left hand missing, but she hasn't let that stop her from having a 'can-do' attitude when it comes to tackling whatever life throws at her.

Doctors discovered during a 20-week scan that Imogen would be born with part of her hand missing, leading her family to be concerned about how she would be able to do various activities.

Earlier this year, Imogen and her family took part in an adventure day held by The LimbBo Foundation-a charity that helps children and families with limb differences.

At the event, they met the Open Bionics Foundation, which selected Imogen, along with two other children, to receive funding for a bionic 'Hero Arm', which, when worn, acts like a normal hand.
