Brave ATC cadet has leg amputated.
Yes, I know it's the Daily hate but anyone got a contact at Hedley Court. The ATC/CCF help the armed forces and in many areas they are the only manifestation of the armed forces, maybe just maybe they could help her out. It takes courage to have your leg amputated electively.

When I first read the thread title, I had mixed feelings. Then I read the DM article. What an amazing girl. Yes, I know there are a thousand worthy causes, but this one touches my heart.
A link to the giving page, anyone?
How about the RAF offers some encouragement too?

Spot on SOSL!... and having met Harriet's Cadet Warrant Officer at a dinner on Saturday, the support she is receiving from the wider RAF Family is very, very much appreciated.
Thanks to everyone who has posted messages of support or who have generously contributed via justgiving to her 'prosthetic limb' fund.
This is what the RAF does best - we look after our own!

For a number of years I taught a girl who had lost a lower leg . The prosthetic limbs, especially the 'social' one, make a big difference to self-esteem for a teenage girl.
Well done everyone!
