A woman who had her right leg and pelvis amputated after being run over by a tractor has made it to the summit of Whitby’s famous 199 steps to raise money for charity.
Lucie Maguire, 24, of Kirkby Malzeard, near Ripon, battled heavy rain and windy conditions to reach St Mary’s churchyard at the top, supported by family and friends.
Lucie was 19 when she was struck by the farm machinery as she helped her mum from a broken car in a country lane on 27 January 2021.
To mark the fifth anniversary of her accident, she decided on the “hop to the top” challenge to raise money for Day One Trauma Support, a charity which helped her and her family through her ordeal.
