Yes, this is me. This was the first day I walked with my new leg. I had all the hope and expectations that I was going to be fine. I had my leg and I was mobile, so why not? Little did I know that there was a lot more to this than just walking. I had to learn so much more than just walking, and thank God, I had a great team of doctors, a support system, and awesome insurance.

This got me thinking, however, what about the people that don’t have what I have? What about people that didn’t have the insurance I had? How are they going to make this work? I started looking for support groups in my area, and that was a bust. I then started thinking okay, if no one else can do it, why not me? And this is how Stumps R Us started as a simple thought.
