Tia Leigh has taken her first steps since having her right leg amputated above the knee in July. The Cwmbran teenager has been going to Rockwood hospital in Cardiff for physiotherapy.
This 14-second video shows how far she has come in two months.
It’s just over a week since she met rugby star Ryan Jones and paralympian Richie Powell . The pair took part in a fun day at the Six in Hand pub and presented her with a wheelchair on behalf of the Princes Gate Trust.
