Look at all of the fun we’ve been having!
Events are a key part of our mission because they create opportunities to try new things, discover our strengths and grow our potential for a healthier and happier future. We’ve run relays, rock climbed, surfed, biked, skied, hiked, and learned archery and bo yoga! The sky’s the limit. Feel free to suggest an activity by getting in touch on our contact page or through social media.

Discover Conference
Our annual Discover Your Potential With Limb Loss and Physical Challenges Conference is our largest event of the year. Our 2019 conference had approximately 80 attendees and 22 vendors ranging from amputees to prosthetists and physical therapists to family caregivers. In light of the Coronavirus Outbreak we’ve had to postpone this years conference for spring of 2021 but we can’t wait to be back together again! In addition to vendors we also have motivational and guest speakers and performers as well as a slew of activities. Previous years include knocker balls bo yoga, obstacle courses, rock wall climbing, archery target practice pickle ball and adaptive karate!
