I was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy on one side at birth. I've had foot braces, multiple doctors visits, surgeries, and therapies my whole life. I was lucky enough to never be wheelchair bound and could live a life as independent as it could be thus far. I got married and had a baby! After that, my surgeries started coming undone and my bones are disintegrating, so I decided it's time to bite the bullet, get an amputation and let something (my foot) go that's already gone. So on August 16th, 2022, I got an amputation in order to be fully available physically for my son as he grows up to be an amazing young man. I want to prove to him and others you've got to reach as high as the stars. Anything is possible if you just breathe and believe in yourself!
