A 5km walk supporting a limb loss charity has been dedicated to a woman who had all four limb amputated earlier this year.

Lily McGarry, 23, from Jersey, had the amputations after getting sepsis.

Greg Murray, the founder of Jersey Limb Difference Support Group said members were passionate about making their inaugural event a show of support and solidarity for her.

He said: "Everyone wanted to show support for Lily… and it germinated into a real passion to do this. The enthusiasm in that room was so palpable and emotional."

Mr Murray said: "Immediately there was an empathy for this amazing young lady who is going through the trial of a lifetime, and what we can do is show some solidarity and support for her in her challenge."

He set up the Jersey Limb Difference Support Group earlier this month having lost a leg to cancer 13 years ago.
