A woman has become a real-life pin up after losing her leg to a rare one-in-10million form of cancer.
Cairn Atkinson, 35, is a model, actress, and limb difference/differently-abled advocate from Los Angeles, California, USA.
She was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Epithelioid Sarcoma in July 2018 when she was just 30 years old.
In December of that year, Cairn had her leg amputated at the hip, which saved her life, and kept her in remission for nearly four years.
After the surgery, Cairn began to learn first-hand that many places in LA aren’t accessible for all bodies and abilities.
