sarahsaifa 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2008 My name's Sarah, I'm an RBK amputee, I'm 20 and I live in Melbourne, Australia. My leg was amputated because of birth defects. It was before I ever learnt to walk so I've never known anything different. That may be the reason why not many people know that I'm an amputee, so I'm actually happy I can introduce myself openly here haha I was involved with Limb Kids and Wheelchair Sports when I was younger and swam competitively around the country. I now train and compete in karate which is something I never thought I'd be able to do (I used to fall over a lot haha). I'm also a student, I study medical science and biotechnology and eventually I want to be a geneticist but right now I'm just a lab tech So that's about my life story haha. Thanks higgy for helping me sign up, I'm very happy to be here :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
