Going around the internet today is the heartwarming and pretty goddamn cute video of a seven-year-old girl, Anu, showing off her new “sports blade” prosthetic leg to classmates in the yard at a Birmingham, England school.
Anu had her leg amputated shortly after birth and has been using a prosthetic her entire life, according to BBC.
Anu was able to get the new prosthetic thanks to a National Health Service program in England that allocated $1.9 million to give 500 children running blades so that they can compete in sports, The Telegraph reported.
The sports blade allows Anu considerably more physical latitude, playing and dancing and being a kid. Anu has a pre-existing condition. She is lucky to not live in America right now. The video is below and has all kinds of allergens in it, so take a Claritin and a box of tissues.
