What happens when a 14 year old Formula 1 enthusiast emails Mercedes-Benz asking for a contribution for a new 58 000 $ bionic arm? If Matthew James (from Woking , UK) serves as a reference: he gets it.
Matthew was born missing part of his left arm and hand and is now the owner of a very advanced “iLimb” bionic hand. When he mockingly offered Mercedes-Benz to post sponsor logos on the limb in exchange for financial help, the car manufacturer was touched by the request and actually helped him raise the funds. Then they partnered with Touch Bionic to make a custom fitted robotic hand.

I almost never comment, but I browsed a few responses on this page Child Gets Robotic Hand From Mercedes and Touch Bionic. I do have a few questions for you if it’s allright. Is it just me or does it look like a few of these remarks appear as if they are left by brain dead individuals?
And, if you are posting at other online social sites, I’d like to follow you. Would you make a list of all of your social sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
