A lifelong Liverpool FC fan has finally reached his goal of having a robotic arm after being diagnosed with a debilitating disease when he was five.
Adam Kent from Crosby has managed to get the opportunity to have a robotic arm, something he has spent the last year of his life working towards. The 26-year-old has spent 12 months raising money to be able to afford his own robotic arm and with the help of disability equipment provider, Rahana Life, Adam is now in a position where he can rent the arm.
Adam was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was five years old, a condition that his brother Alix also suffers from. The condition means that both Adam and Alix have lost the ability to use their limbs as their health deteriorates over time.
