When Faith Lennox lost her left forearm at just nine-months-old, the courageous little girl learned to do things with just the use of her right hand.

The seven-year-old doesn't shy away from rambunctious activities despite the difficulties she may face as a result of her disability.

Having taught herself to swim at just three years of age, Faith now accompanies her dad on his surfing trips and lives life to the full.

But it seems Faith's life may get even more hectic after the little girl was provided with a revolutionary new 3D prosthetic hand, the result of an emerging new technology.

Overcome with excitement at being able to show off her new pink and blue hand as it emerged from the 3D printer, Faith, who lost her left forearm when her position during childbirth unfortunately cut off the blood flow to the limb, exclaimed: "It's really cool!"
 


Commenting on Faith's new hand, the president of Build It Workspace, Mark Lengsfeld, said: "It's an amazing thing to be doing."

Aware that children often outgrow prosthetic limbs, Mark was able to provide the little girl with the 3D printed prosthetic hand at a cost of just $50, meaning Faith can replace it as she grows.

Overjoyed by her new hand, Faith immediately hopped on to her bike to see how it would feel to go for a cycle with two hands.
 


We're delighted for the lovely Faith!
