This is the heartwarming moment a toddler who lost all her limbs to meningitis takes her first steps with a new walker. Brave Harmonie-Rose Allen, three, was struck down with a deadly strain of meningococcal septicaemia at just ten months old. She was rushed to hospital where doctors told parents Freya Hall, 22, and Ross Allen, 24, that she had a ten per cent chance of survival. Miraculously, brave Harmonie-Rose defied the odds and beat the killer bug - but lost her arms, legs and the tip of the nose in the process.
