Mandy Sellars: The woman with giant legs


Mandy Sellars was born February 20, 1975, in Lancashire, U.K. She was born with unusually large, malformed legs and feet. As she grew older her legs and feet continued to grow much more rapidly than the rest of her body and she experienced increasing mobility problems and at the age of 14 had an operation to reduce the weight of her legs. She was diagnosed with Proteus Syndrome in 2006.

Despite her disability, Mandy lives a very full life. She has earned a degree in psychology and trailing in counseling. She also spends time fundraising for the Proteus Syndrome Foundation.
