I'm Moving for ALTSO to help CoolKids walk & roll.
Movement fuels our energy, lifts our mood, sharpens our minds, and affects everything we do. This May, I'm celebrating Mobility Awareness Month with A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO) and dedicating 5 days of movement to provide high-quality mobility care to CoolKids in emerging countries. Will you join me? Let's Move!
Why I #MoveForALTSO:
106 million children live with untreated disabilities in emerging countries, but 95% cannot access care, isolating them from school, play, and daily life. Each one will need ongoing care as they grow. ALTSO provides free, high-quality prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces and appropriately fitted wheelchairs to CoolKids from birth to their 26th birthday. I'm using my own mobility to help CoolKids walk & roll — into classrooms, communities, and a future filled with opportunity.
How You Can Help:
- Move with me. Sign up. Track your movement (walk, run, swim, bike), compete for prizes, and raise funds. Together, we can move 3,500 miles in 5 days. Let's Move!
- Pledge per mile. Make a contribution based on the number of miles I hope to move.
- One-time donation. All funds raised will help to provide high-quality prosthetic limbs, appropriately fitted wheelchairs, and orthotic braces to CoolKids.

All my steps from the last 24 hours - planting flowers, chasing around my 6 year old, walking the neighborhood, surviving a brief but intense hail storm!

We say so often here at ALTSO, "Mobility is so much more than movement." To kick of Move For ALTSO week, I took a morning walk around the neighborhood and took the time to appreciate some of the "much more."
This morning, My Mobility is.... the competing chilly spring breeze and the warmth of the rising sun. The smell of new green growth all around. The friendly hello to neighbors, and pets for their dogs. The sound of birds chirping in the air.
Here's to a great week ahead!

Meet Dwi.
As a young child, Dwi lost his leg in a traumatic accident. In 2015, with your generous support, we provided Dwi with his very first prosthetic limb.
An active child who is always on the move, Dwi has dreamed of becoming a professional athlete for as long as we have known him.
In 2023, Dwi's dreams became a reality when he was chosen to represent Bali at the prestigious National Students Paralympic Games.
Since that first meet, Dwi has been winning medals every year. This is just the beginning of Dwi’s story. We are so proud of Dwi and grateful to all of you who have supported his journey, keeping him moving forward.
