Heartwarming moment seven-year-old boy born with missing limb tries out his new Iron Man-themed bionic arm
A seven-year-old boy born without a right hand is now beaming with joy as he tried out his new'robot arm'. Louie Morgan-Kemp, of Swavesey, Cambridgeshire, had just started fundraising for the prosthetic when a kind-hearted businessman saw his story in the news and offered to pay the full £13,000 cost. The youngster collected the Ironman-themed Hero Arm this week and can move its mechanical fingers by using muscles in his arm to press buttons inside the sleeve. Louie said the gadget, made by Bristol-based Open Bionics, helps him with picking things up, cutting food and pouring drinks. He said it was'exciting' to get the arm and he was'happy' that businessman Billy Dixon had paid for him to get it.
