'They call it a 'Hero Arm' because you really are a hero.'
Just call Mark Hamill your everyday hero. In a tweet on Tuesday, the Star Wars alum shared a video of his Skype call with an 11-year-old girl named Bella Tadlock, who recently received a robotic arm in the style of her favorite character from the mega-franchise, R2-D2.
It was wonderful talking with Bella & seeing her incredible new #R2D2HeroArm- This is what a real-life hero looks like! Thanks to @openbionics for making this happen & offering hope to so many deserving recipients. #BionicBella ♥️ https://t.co/lhOjygK0ea Tadlock's Hero Arm works by using signals from muscles in the limb to make it move, according to the New York Post. Because of this, Tadlock has the ability to participate in activities like other kids her age, as in, riding bikes around the block or even cooking.
