Overview
- Brenda Ogden, 69, lost her custom-made waterproof prosthetic when a wave knocked it off at Bridlington in April 2025.
- Elizabeth Forbes, a 38-year-old fossil hunter, spotted the limb among rocks near Atwick on the Holderness coast about 12–14.5 miles from where it was lost.
- Forbes photographed the find and shared it online, leading community members to identify it as Ogden’s missing leg.
- A friend retrieved the prosthesis at low tide and is cleaning and repairing it before it is returned to Ogden.
- Ogden, who had been unable to replace the specialist limb after a fundraiser fell short, says she hopes to resume sea swimming.
