Friends and Fam!

As many of you know, I have been working as a Prosthetist for about a year now. I have seen countless patients come through our offices who we were able to get back to walking- to say it's rewarding work is an understatement.

I have also learned a lot about how insurance works in this field.

Great- the patients are walking again! But some of them also want to run, swim, lift weights, play tennis, bike, etc... Including kiddos who just want to be able to run around with their friends or play sports growing up.

But there is no access to these types of devices through insurance.

I'm excited to join the 28x28 Mobility Challenge in support of So Every BODY Can Move, a landmark state-by-state policy and advocacy initiative creating equitable access to prosthetic and orthotic care for physical activity, currently deemed “not medically necessary” and not covered by insurance. Your support will fuel our legislative efforts, ensuring everyone has the right to move.

I am pledging to move at least 28 minutes for 28 days in July with a goal of 30 miles. I'm lucky to have the ability to go out and do that, and together we can make movement a human right for ALL!

Thank you!
