Teenager wants a bionic arm to get into military

A 17-year-old girl is fundraising for a bionic arm so that she can try and get accepted for military service

Paige Cox from Wivielscombe in Somerset was born without a right hand and enjoys playing cricket and is a member of her local army cadet group.

Ms Cox has been deferred by the military once before so is now fundraising for a bionic arm. While it will not guarantee her a military career, it will increase her chances according to her family.

"It would make daily tasks easier. I often struggle with quite a few things. Having it would take a pressure off," Ms Cox said.
