Charlotte is now back in New Zealand after
visiting Chico, California, USA where she receieved a set of state-of-the-art
prosthetic legs from Elite Biomechanical Design.
Owner and Head Prosthetist Matt Daniels
first met Charlotte at Camp-No-Limits in 2008 and again in 2009
when he volunteered as a Camp Leader.
Matt is himself a left leg amputee and knows only too well the
issues Charlotte faces.
Charlotte was in the USA for 3 weeks as they cast, moulded, tooled
& refined her new limbs and spent time with physiotherapists
learning how to walk in them.
Within two days of arriving in America, Charlotte was filmed by
North California CBS affiliate, KHSLTV for a current affairs item
on the nightly news.
