'Cut off my leg so I can run faster'
Danielle Bradshaw, 15, from Manchester, decided to have her right leg removed in 2010 after a congenital disorder meant she was confined to a wheelchair.
She was then fitted with a prosthetic limb, meaning she could start enjoying sports for the first time in her life. She started sprinting on an Oscar Pistorius-style running blade - but says the strain on her 'good' leg is now causing her constant pain and slowing her down.
She now wants her left foot - which has deformed toes and severe tendon damage - removed so she can run with two prosthetics and achieve her dream of competing in top-level Paralympic events.
