Hannah Campbell (AKA “The Bionic Woman”)

Hannah CampbellThis courageous corporal was hit by a mortar in Iraq and suffered terrible injuries that included being blinded in one eye, a heart attack and damage to her womb. She used part of the £380,000 compensation she received from the Ministry of Defence to have a £52,500 makeover and commented: “It was a non-brainer, the best money I ever spent”. Unlike the grasping pair Sam Barton and Josie Cunningham, Hannah Campbell paid for much of it herself. This heroic lady, whose photograph by the rock star Bryan Adams appeared in an exhibition at the National Gallery, has completed a marathon in the time since and given birth to her second child, Lexi-River. In August 2014, she told the Daily Mail: “The miracle happened. I feel blessed. Many women never learn to be fully happy with how they look but I really appreciate how I am now”.
