A HIGH-FLYING acrobat who lost her legs due to frostbite is teaching others to fly with her own circus school. Aerial silks performer Erin, 39, began an accessible training academy for mixed-ability students after losing both her lower legs to frostbite in 2014. After getting lost in the woods near her home in Kingston, Ontario, a police dog found her six days later in the freezing cold, unconscious and fighting for her life. Doctors were forced to amputate her damaged feet and part of her lower legs. The 39-year-old admits she struggled with depression after the surgery.
