I have heard it from other athletes – para and able-bodied – there’s a story from everyone.

Marathon running is about enriching your life and, for some, creating a new start to your life or finding a new purpose.

I get to go at a speed and a pace that doesn’t matter if I have legs or if I’m able-bodied.

Everyone should know that there are people out there, such my family, my prosthetist, who has been great at helping me get back on my feet, and the people at Össur who are willing to help out and welcome you with open arms.

I knew I had a difference, but to me it wasn’t an obstacle.

Albert Lin lost his leg in an accident and has gone on to host National Geographics shows. This is how his Pro-Flex XC allows him to live his life without limitations.

I try to show everybody that disability is not a handicap. You can still do anything you want in life.

Giving up was not an option.

My mission is to show that an impairment does not have to be a limitation. You can do so much more than you think.

Once I put the blade on, I fell in love. I always tell people, when I run, I feel like I have 2 feet again.

Building a new life as an amputee takes a ton of courage, exceptional resilience, a good dose of creativity and a whole lot of love. Just ask Jean-François Méheut…

I am so happy for this extraordinary life. Keep going, live your life and never give up – that’s what I tell everyone.

This life is so beautiful but only because I have allowed it to be. I could have let it take me down a different path but I chose to take the path filled with light and laughter, with learning and adventure.

Adaptive Surfer and Photographer

Make your life a dream, and a dream a reality.

This was my dream when I was a kid. This is where I want to be.

Would I have gone surfing that morning knowing very well moments after jumping in the ocean I would become limbless? Absolutely. A violent encounter with a shark amputated my leg in seconds, and nearly killed me. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. Life’s uncanny like that.

Being born with limb difference doesn’t define me. It’s simply a small part of me, and it won’t hold me back unless I let it.

Keep trying, trying, trying and you will be better at what you want to be.

Helping people return to mobility is one of my biggest goals.

There will always be something in life that tries to hold us back or stop us from being great.  But I refuse to EVER let anyone tell me I can’t do something.

My influence is to inspire others and to make them believe that if I can do it, they can do it too.

My prosthesis has always been part of me and makes every hurdle conquerable. For me, sprinting is like art, because the work is in the detail.

Read the story of Proprio Foot user Frank Schaller, enjoying his retirement and never saying no to a new adventure.

I lead a perfectly normal life, both personally and professionally. Life has given me the opportunity to try boxing after being a professional football player and I grabbed it, without doubts or hesitations.
