Rosie Davies, 7, skateboards with no LEGS

An adorable seven-year-old girl who had both her legs amputated in a pioneering operation is continuing to defy the odds - by learning how to SKATEBOARD. Inspirational Rosie Davies became one of only three people in the world to undergo the revolutionary surgery to fix a life-threatening spinal condition two years ago. The schoolgirl suffers from ultra-rare Spinal Segmental Dysgenesis (SSD) and was born with no feeling in her legs - which were stuck in a crossed position. Doctors also discovered that FIVE bones which made up part of her spine were missing - leaving a 10cm gap in her backbone. The rare spinal condition meant her organs, including kidneys, were in danger of slowly being crushed which could have had fatal consequences. Rosie then had both her legs amputated below the knee in a pioneering 13-hour operation at Birmingham Children's Hospital in November 2012.
