This is the incredible moment a social worker takes her first steps in 14 years - with the help of an £80,000 robotic suit. Lucy Dodd, from Aldershot, was suddenly struck by a rare congenital malformation of blood vessels and left paralysed from the waist down as a teenager. But now the social worker, who has been wheelchair-bound since she was 19, can move her legs again through a revolutionary exoskeleton. In moving footage of her using the bionic contraption that allows paraplegics to stand and move, Ms Dodd can be seen striding out. The 34-year-old is now desperately trying to raise the five-figure sum for the ReWalk exoskeleton in order to get her mobility back.
