Bionic Tilly
Ambassador for Open Bionics and & Real-Life Heroine
Tilly Lockey, a real-life superhero traveling the globe spreading inspiration, positivity, and sharing awareness. She became an ambassador for Open Bionics in the UK for the state-of-the-art bionic HeroArms which enable her to perform actions such as picking up small objects or playing video games.
Her arms are the first of their kind to be medically approved in Britain - a fantastic news that could change the future of many fellow amputees.
Aged just 15 months, little Tilly was diagnosed with Meningococcal Septicemia Strain B which resulted in both her arms and toes being amputated. She was first fitted with bionic arms when she was 8 years old. Nowadays, the 16-year-old Lockey sparkles at the thought of what the future will bring. She's worked as an actress, Sky TV Presenter, and social media influencer…this girl is the definition of unstoppable.
