Swimmer's prosthetic leg lost at sea recovered by fossil hunter
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"The mum-of-two posted a photo of the titanium leg on social media and word got back to Brenda who identified it as hers. The 69-year-old had lost the brand new custom-made limb last April while sea swimming off Bridlington, North Yorkshire. She was hit by a big wave and the prosthetic was dislodged and swept away. Brenda and her friends spent several days searching the shoreline in the hope it would wash up but had no joy."
The Independent covers reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech, investigates financial links such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC, and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' spotlighting American women fighting for reproductive rights. The outlet emphasizes sending reporters to the ground, offering reporting without paywalls and asking donations to fund journalism. Disabled swimmer Brenda Ogden lost a custom-made titanium swim prosthetic off Bridlington, North Yorkshire after a wave dislodged it. The limb washed away and a GoFundMe raised 800 toward a replacement. Ten months later a beachwalker, Lizzie Forbes, found the prosthetic and social media helped reunite Brenda with her leg.
