Amputee Keith Severson plays on inline hockey league #noboundaries
Message and pics from POA client Keith Severson… “Here are a few pictures from my inline hockey league. Always fun to see the other team players see me take off my leg after a game and realize the guy who scored a couple goals is missing a leg. Thanks to the POA team and to Steve Chamberland of 50legs.org! He was a huge reason I was able to get out to POA. Without his assistance I would still be in my old set up not getting to play the sports I love.” #noboundaries

Above Knee Amputee Police Officer, Robert Smith
POA client Robert Smith lost his leg above the knee in 2008 while serving our country in the middle east. We met Robert in 2013, when he was looking for a socket system which would enable him to meet the physical requirements of the police academy. One year later, here he is being sworn in! Congratulations, Robert! #noboundaries
