The Born to Run Foundation

[snowyh]

The Born to Run Foundation was established to help young amputees obtain specialized prosthetic devices so that they can live fulfilling lives. Founder Noelle Lambert of Manchester, New Hampshire, created the foundation after she lost a leg in a moped accident in 2016. As an athlete herself and former Division 1 college lacrosse player at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, Noelle wanted to ensure that young amputees who cannot afford costly athletic prosthetics have the opportunity to have an active lifestyle.

Hi, Snowyh! I just saw the above post, sorry, I'm new at this and I didn't see this until now. Anyhow, is that foundation still in operation in 2023? and would they consider an older person for a donation of a running blade? I would like to get back to the active life I had before the accident, but Medicare will not pay for a running blade, and I simply cannot afford one.
