After losing limbs to meningitis, 12-year-old's positivity inspires fundraising heroics
-
LUKE Mortimer had to have all his limbs amputated to save his life after contracting meningococcal meningitis septicaemia in 2019. After six months in hospital and 23 operations, he eventually went home - but his life had changed forever.
Dad Adam says: "Luke seemed to take it all in his, now, slightly smaller stride. He had his moments but mostly got stuck in to whatever the task needed, from trying to balance to learning to use cutlery again, all mastered with a smile."
