A little boy who was born without his left hand is hoping to raise £20k so he can be fitted with a "superhero" bionic arm.

Brodie Foster, seven, was born with a wrist and half a palm on his left arm and hasn't let it hold him back.

But now the growing boy wants more independence and to be able to climb monkey bars, tie his shoelaces and do tricks on his scooter.

His parents, Naomi and Jason Foster, both 30, spotted a story about another boy being fitted with an Open Bionics arm and said Brodie was "so excited" when he saw it.

The family are now fundraising to raise the £20k needed for the arm - which comes in several different Marvel designs.
