Paisley amputee charity rewards kind and strong dad who lost hands and feet to sepsis

Ian Retalic, Finding Your Feet s chAMP awardwinner. EXCLUSIVE A CHARITY set up to support amputees has awarded its annual chAMP title to an electrician who lost both hands and feet after developing sepsis. Ian Retalic was one of more than 70 nominees for this year’s event run by Finding Your Feet. The Paisley-based charity was set up by amputee and former Glasgow Times Scotswoman of the Year Dr Corinne Hutton. Corinne, who lives in Lochwinnoch with her son Rory, also lost her hands and feet to sepsis after contracting pneumonia. Realising very little support existed for people who have experienced limb loss, she set up Finding Your Feet to help reduce the social isolation many feel as a result of amputation. The charity has since raised more than £1.2m, and has developed a range of support networks and activities for its members, called Troopers, and their families, at the time they need it most.

Scotswoman of the Year 2020: No matter what life throws at them, some women just rise to the challenge

TAKE a look at the mural in St Enoch Centre which celebrates every single Scotswoman of the Year since our awards began in 1963. It is a wall of fame like no other – a reassuring reminder that in every walk of life, in every corner of Scotland, no matter what life throws at them there are always those who rise to the challenge. In 2020, says the centre’s general manager and long-time friend of SWOTY Anne Ledgerwood, that rings true more than ever. “It’s true - 2020 has of course been an incredibly challenging year for everyone due to COVID-19, but it has also brought to the fore some inspirational women in Scotland,” she says.
