Ben McBean, the former Royal Marine commando who lost his arm and leg after being blown up by a Taliban IED in 2008, has made a public appeal for help to buy a functional prosthetic arm. The 39-year-old launched the crowdfunding initiative after receiving hardly any assistance despite being a decorated combat veteran.
For McBean, it is imperative that he is able to get a myoelectric arm. He offered simple reasons behind that, although the most essential of them all is being able to actually hold his children's hands and independently carry out basic routines wherever he may be.
