A BOURNEMOUTH amputee model has proved there are no limits to a disability after jetting to Moscow to strut his stuff on the catwalk.

Jack Eyers, who is a personal trainer at FitSpace Gym, has represented charity Models of Diversity by opening the Bezgraniz Couture show at Russian Fashion Week.

The 26-year-old, who had his right leg amputated aged 16 and has since appeared on the front cover of Men’s Health and made appearances at shows in New York and LA, said he hopes he can inspire young people with a disability.

He said: “I’m over the moon at being selected for this prestigious event and delighted to be at such a great international fashion show.

Jack, who is also a campaigner for disability charity Scope, added: “Russian Fashion Week attracts a huge following and I hope to raise awareness of our campaign to make it possible for models like me to have a chance to change the face of fashion and modelling.”

As previously reported in the Daily Echo, Jack was born with rare condition Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency which meant his right leg did not grow properly and he elected to have his leg amputated when he was 16.

He has since turned his life around becoming a model, actor, personal trainer and campaigner.

Models of Diversity is the campaign for more diversity in the models people see every day.

Founder of the charity, Angel Sinclair said: “I met Jack four years ago when he contacted me after the Paralympic Games in London. His poise and relaxed manner struck me immediately and he has now been involved in a number of international events for us and is a great ambassador for all those young people with a disability who would like to break into fashion.”
