Quadruple amputee thanks charity for support

Lily McGarry thanked the charity for its support

A quadruple amputee from Jersey has thanked a limb-loss charity for helping her feel less alone during her recovery process.

Lily McGarry, 23, had amputations after getting sepsis.

The Jersey Limb Difference Support Group dedicated its inaugural 5km (3.2 mile) walk on Monday to Lily as a show of support and solidarity to her.

She said: "I just want to say a massive thank you for organising this event. I hope it provides a safe place for people to come and meet to make new friends and feel supported in their limb loss journeys."

She added: "It's made me feel like I'm not alone during my recovery process so thank you again."

At the beginning of May, a 10km (6.4 mile) run was held for Lily - and islanders showed support in April by wearing orange to help raise awareness of limb loss.
