Bernadette Hagans shares how she’s helping amputees and wheelchair users to express themselves with customised and colourful wraps for their prosthetics and mobility aids

In 2018, at 22 years of age, Bernadette was diagnosed with synovial sarcoma, a rare form of cancer that ultimately led to her right leg being amputated.

“Cancer completely changed how I see myself and the world,” explains Bernadette. “Losing my leg forced me to figure out who I really am and to step out of my comfort zone.”
