Gloucester's 'Everest' fundraiser sees his little girl's first steps

Charlotte Bottger, the three-year-old with cerebral palsy whose father scaled the equivalent of Everest to help her walk again, is back from her operation in America.

And already, she has taken her first steps.

Her father James ran up and down Robinswood Hill in Gloucester 75 times last year to raise the more than £20,000 they needed for surgery that wasn't available on the NHS.

Now the family are back home in Gloucestershire, and though Charlotte cannot yet walk unaided, she can wiggle her toes, and is able to put one foot in front of the other - something which was impossible before.
