Full Disclosure with James O'Brien

Cor Hutton: The Quadruple Amputee Who Found Her Feet


Listen Later

In 2013, businesswoman and mum Cor Hutton was given just a five percent chance of survival after contracting pneumonia that developed into sepsis. She pulled through, but lost both hands and her legs below the knee.

In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O’Brien speaks to Cor about her extraordinary journey- from relearning how to live as a quadruple amputee to becoming the first person in Scotland to receive a double hand transplant. They discuss her founding of the charity Finding Your Feet, the physical and emotional resilience behind her recovery, and the mountains- literal and metaphorical- she has climbed since.

Powerful, moving and often laced with humour, this conversation reveals Cor not just as a survivor, but as a campaigner, mother and relentless optimist- someone who proves that lives can be rebuilt and transformed, no matter how impossible the odds.

Right now, too many people are facing their toughest challenges - alone. Families living with life-limiting illness. People struggling with their mental health. Those trapped in abuse or unable to afford the basics. They need help. And they need it now. At Global’s Make Some Noise, we’re funding vital projects in communities right across the UK, small charities working on the front line of these challenges - but we can’t do it without you. Every day without funding means someone goes without support. Your donation could mean a safe place to turn, a vital phone call answered, a life changed. Help us to make sure no one faces life’s toughest challenges alone.
