Connie Belt, '22 Recipient

"Thanks for the  Blade 5k, for making my daily life just a little easier with the new wheelchair!  This one is so much easier to push which is less wear on my already over used arms! My first test with it was a fast one mile race which is designed to let you put all you have out on the road for one mile. I broke my PR with my new wheels! I felt so amazing! Thank you again for making my life just a little bit easier! "

"His confidence has grown by 100% since he has received the blades. As for the family, we truly have seen kindness we never imagined and hopefully have made some lifelong friends."

"I was nominated and awarded with a running Blade for a BK amputation by Randy Brown with Hanger. I had been a patient of his for about 20 years and he knows my lifestyle. After the amputation, running and exercise was different but the Blade makes it enjoyable and easier on the body when I use it. Running is more enjoyable and has made me a healthier person. It's something I could do with my wife or the boys at local runs. 

I want to thank Nate and family for using his experience and carrying on the generosity to the community. Thank you."
