Why We Move For ALTSO.
This May, we're celebrating Mobility Awareness Month because mobility affects everything we do and every opportunity we have.
We're moving 5,000 Miles and raising $50,000 dollars to help 100 CoolKids walk and roll.
Will you support our campaign?
Why We #MoveForALTSO.
Did you know there are 106 million children with untreated disabilities in the developing world? 9 in 10 children cannot afford treatment and, as a result, do not attend school. When you give a child the ability to move, you improve their self-esteem, provide access to education, future employment, and the tools to live self-sufficiently.
About A Leg To Stand On (ALTSO).
ALTSO provides free prosthetic limbs, orthotic devices, and appropriately fitted wheelchairs, to children with limb disabilities in the developing world whose families cannot afford care. Mobility is more than movement, it's a human right. Since 2003, ALTSO has transformed the lives of nearly 23,000 CoolKids.

Meet Sopriya.
A CoolKid kept moving since 2011.
After Sopriya lost her leg, her mother feared she would not see her daughter walk again. We provided Sopriya with her first prosthesis; in an instant her future was changed.
We’ve supported Sopriya’s continuous care since 2011, keeping her moving and in school. Now 18, Sopriya has graduated from high school and attends university in Thailand.
Sopriya’s dream is to start her own business in Cambodia. Resilient and confident, Sopriya embodies the spirit of determination and the difference mobility makes. This is life Growing Up ALTSO -- and the difference you have when you support ALTSO. Thank you!
