Amputee in peak triumph

-

A MUM whose hands and feet were amputated has climbed 19,341ft Kilimanjar­o, Africa’s highest peak.

Corinne Hutton, 48, who took five days, is believed to be the first female quadruple amputee to scale the mountain in Tanzania.

The mum of a son of 10, of Lochwinnoc­h, near Glasgow, lost her limbs to sepsis in 2013.

She said: “The support I’ve received from people all over got me to the top.”

She raised £15,000 for her charity, Finding Your Feet, that helps amputees.
