May 4 - 8 | We're challenging YOU to MOVE.
$0Raised of $80,000
Mobility is Powerful.
Movement fuels our energy, lifts our mood, sharpens our minds, and affects everything we do. This May, celebrate Mobility Awareness Month and dedicate 5 days of movement to provide high-quality mobility care to CoolKids in emerging countries. Track your movement (walk, run, swim, bike), compete for prizes, and raise funds. Let’s move!
Will you help us move 3,500 miles in 5 days?
We're moving 3,500 miles in honor of our signature Joshi Prosthetic Modular Limb Components - provided to our CoolKids at an average cost to ALTSO of $350 (compared to an average cost of $5,000 for a prosthetic limb in the United States). How far can you move in 5 days?
➜ Move 15 miles in honor of the 15% of the world's population that lives with a disability.
➜ Move 25 miles in honor of the 25,818 CoolKids we have served since 2003.
➜ Move 54 miles in honor of our programs' 54 clinics providing care across 13 countries.
Will you help us raise $80,000 by May 31st?
The average Move Team raises over $1,000 for our CoolKids! Whether you raise $200 or $2,000, know that every dollar will help to provide high-quality prosthetic limbs, appropriately fitted wheelchairs, and orthotic braces to CoolKids like Awatt:
➜ 95% of the 106 million children living with untreated disabilities in emerging countries cannot afford care. When Awatt lost his leg while trying to buy cookies, he was one of them.
➜ While less than 10% of kids living with disabilities attend school globally, 70% of school aged children in ALTSO's programs attended school in 2025. Shortly after we provided Awatt with his first prosthetic limb, he enrolled in kindergarten.
➜100% of our CoolKids will need continued care. Ten years of consistent support later, Awatt is now in middle school and dreams of becoming a doctor.
Will you Move for yourself and our CoolKids?
From May 4 - 8, get out (or stay in) and move however you can, because you can, to help CoolKids walk & roll. Mobility matters because:
➜ your mobility affects everything you do from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to bed
➜ regular movement can lower heart disease risk by 30%
➜ without the ability to physically walk, bike, or roll to school, children living with untreated disabilities cannot and do not receive an education
➜ 30 minutes of activity boosts your mood, memory, and creativity
➜ mobility is critical to a child’s ability to one day secure gainful employment, instead of dangerous and low-paying work such as street begging or waste pickers
