Helping kids get the prostheses they need to lead healthy and active lives.

Rizzo was born with bilateral tibial and femoral hemimelia and underwent amputation when she was a baby. Now, Rizzo is an amazing little girl that doesn't let anything get her down! She recently started walking on her first set of prostheses and has been impossible to keep up with since. Rizzo loves any sports that have to do with a ball and is excited to start gymnastics soon as she's already doing flips on the couch and hand stands on the floor!

Matthew was adopted from China at the age of 7. He was born without his right foot and had his left leg amputated at the age of 8, shortly after coming to the US. Matthew has a passion for wheelchair basketball and recently decided to take up running to help him stay in shape in the off season and not only did he end up loving running, he is amazing at it! Matthew competes in several events against all able-bodied athletes and recently ran his first two mile race in under 15 minutes! Running has given Matthew great confidence and a new circle of friends. Matthew's current prostheses are very heavy and preventing him from competing to the best of his ability so we are very excited to help him access more advanced running blades!

Fourteen year old Sharla has been involved in competitive adaptive sports for years and is truly unstoppable as a bilateral above knee amputee. However, she recently had a medical emergency on her left leg, which required surgery that she is now healing from. Once Sharla has fully recovered, she will need both a new set of standard prostheses and a new set of running blades. Sharla is also a competitive swimmer (and wakeboarder!) and hopes to qualify for the 2028 Paralympics in both swimming and running.
