To spread that(5) ,Gallagher turns to social media,where she(6) photographs of her travels across the world,but instead of(7) using a geographical tag,she draws her location across her artificial leg before taking a picture.
Now she has been taking pictures across Europe. "I get a new leg every two years and I can choose the design on it.One day I had a sudden(8) that my new leg could be used as a blackboard," Gallagher said. "My mum and grandmother weren't too(9) the idea,but my friends thought it was great and told me to go for it,so I did. "
Gallagher said people often stare when she's(10) on her leg,but that once she shares the photos,she receives only praise and encouragement.

"I don't know whether it is my determination to(12) to myself that I can do it,but anyhow,I've been able to(13) my peers and lead a pretty great life."
