British woman, 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.

“When I was born, there was a noticeable difference between my upper body and my lower body,” Sellars said. “They didn’t actually expect me to live further than about a few, a few days or so.”

“I try to lead a normal life but I do get frustrated,” she says. “The worst thing about my condition is that my mobility is getting worse and I have no control over it.”

Doctors cannot tell Mandy Sellars why her legs keep growing – all that doctors say is that her only option is amputation. What’s more, her condition is getting worse and doctors say she needs an amputation so severe she won’t be able to sit up…

Mandy doesn’t even know what’s caused it.
