Olivia Clarke and Xmas
Little Olivia Clarke from Cannock in Staffordshire is busy getting excited about Christmas, just like any other six year old - but Olivia is anything but ordinary.
Last January she contracted meningitis and her hands and feet had to be amputated. Her ordeal didn't end there as she caught the superbug MRSA. But she is making a remarkable recovery.
She has yet to receive prosthetic hands but she is determined that the disability will not hold her back. She can write by holding a pen between her wrist and though her left arm is longer than her right, sometimes she has a strap attached to it so that she can hold a pen. She is naturally right handed but she has managed to teach herself to write
with her left - and she now walks to school. Despite her situation, still she managed to achieve 84 per cent in her maths exam.
