Teen Receives Bionic Hand From Mercedes
Okay, this is definitely the feel good story of the day. Kudos to the Mercedes F1 team on this one!
Mercedes where so touched by Matthew’s ”intelligent and moving letter” they agreed to help him and teamed up with firm Touch Bionics, who create and fit hi-tech artificial limbs. Together they designed his own customised i-LIMB Pulse – the most advanced prosthetic limb in the world. The hand is so versatile Matthew can grip a pen to draw pictures and write, tie his shoe laces and catch a ball.
