How do you come together and share a resource?
We come together to inspire one another and celebrate the ability to be active.
Amputee Advocates provides support for amputees and their close friends and families.
We also host activities such as ski-biking, dancing for amputees, yoga for amputees, amputee sailing and golf in order to encourage amputees to keep enjoying the activities they’ve always loved and teach one another new activities we may have never have learned on our own.
Many of us also volunteer at the Veterans’ Hospital for studies on the function of prosthetics. We also volunteer at UW Orthotics and Prosthetics Department and the UW Bio-Engineering Research Department.
How would your group use the award money?
The funds would help us host more activities in order to provide a way for amputees to stay active, seek support, meet new friends and inspire others to see that enjoying life is our most priceless possession.

These people inspire me to overcome the simple injuries I have to deal with. Living and being active with limbloss shows all of us that we humans can overcome anything… j

What a wonderful, uplifting video. You are an awesome group. I knew that before but now the rest of the world will know it. You are role models for not only the other amputees but for anyone who finds themselves inactive and stuck on the couch. Great job!
