Success: Corinne is first female quadruple amputee to conquerafrica’s highest peak

A woman who has no hands or feet is believed to be the first female quadruple amputee to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Corinne Hutton, from Renfrewshire, lost her limbs after she spent three weeks in a coma in the summer of 2013. She was given just a five per cent chance of survival after developing pneumonia and septicaemia.

She reached the peak of Africa’s highest mountain at the weekend, accompanied by 11 supporters from Finding Your Feet, the charity set up by the 48-year-old after her devastating illness five years ago.
