TAA 023: Meet Hope Gordon, who crowdfunded the costs of her amputation
Hope was suffering from Complex Regional Pain Syndrom for years when she decided to have her leg amputated. As an amputation was against the guidelines of the National Health System, she needed to cover the costs by herself. That's when she decided to launch a crowdfunding campaign. Five years later, Hope is a happy young woman living a life free from pain. She is a member of the British National Canoe Team and has her eyes on this years' world championship.
