Goal
Help amputees back on their feet
Sports play a crucial role in the lives of people with disabilities, providing physical and mental benefits as well as a sense of community and accomplishment.
Access to appropriate sports prosthetics can be a major barrier for regular people with disabilities. These specialized prosthetics can be expensive and hard to come by, especially for young athletes and those in underserved communities.
The campaign
We've partnered with Levitate, which develops durable running blades at a fraction of the competition's cost.
We're meeting many amputees at Levitate's Test Run events as well as online, and we'd love nothing more than to give as many of them as possible a new shot at an active life on their own terms.
By providing donations to these sports prosthetics, you can give more leg amputees the opportunity to participate in sports and help them restart their active lives today.
Every time the $2000 mark is met, an amputee gets a blade - and the freedom to be active again.
