A woman who lost her right arm and leg after being hit by two Tube trains has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

Sarah de Lagarde, who lives in Camden Town, slipped on a wet, uneven platform at High Barnet station in September 2022 on her way home from work.

This caused the mum to fall down the gap between the train and the platform, immediately breaking her nose and two front teeth.

Despite her cries for help, there were no staff around and she was hit by two separate trains before she was found and rushed to hospital.

She had her right arm and leg amputated, and now uses two prosthetic limbs, including a bionic arm.

It is now believed that Sarah is the first woman with two prosthetic limbs to reach the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro’s 5,900m peak.

She made the gruelling hike last month with her husband Jeremy and their two daughters, aged 10 and 13.

Posting to Instagram, Sarah described how she made the final ascent from Basecamp in the early hours of the morning.

She said: “Breathing was really hard, and it got harder with every step.

“It was so incredibly steep, my feet slipped on the gravels, I constantly lost my balance and threatened to tumble down the mountain side.”

After reaching the crater rim, her 13-year-old daughter decided to turn back, while Sarah continued on to the summit.

The mum said: “I soldiered on, so close to collapsing, but determined. I had to continue, even if I could barely walk or breathe. I needed to do it for me, I needed to do it for my family.

“And I did it! I think my exact words were ‘f*** yeah!’"

In total, she had walked 82km over five days, with a daily ascent of 1,500m, and a 16-hour trek on the summit day.

Sarah explained that she was able to complete the walk thanks to a “perfectly fitting” socket for her leg that was specifically designed for her.

This is the second time that she has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, having first made the ascent two weeks before her life-changing accident at High Barnet Tube station.
