Marcie shared:
"Our brave friend Adrijus getting his new C leg. There are no words that can express our gratitude to Chris Kort (pictured with Adrijus below) and his caring, professional team at Prosthetics in Motion. From the moment you met Adrijus, you reached out far and near to help. A very special thanks to Wiggle Your Toes who helped the KFF fund this miracle."
Here is A. J.'s story on video by Prosthetics in Motion.
"Amazing day today. A young 18 year old Lithuanian cancer survivor was able to walk again after the generous help from Prosthetics in Motion, Wiggle Your Toes Foundation and the Kazickas Family Foundation. Marcie and I got to know Adrijus last year from the children's oncology ward in Vilnius where he lost his leg to bone cancer. He now has a custom fitted C-leg 3 knee that with training a PT, will get him back to his daily routine. Tremendous thanks to all that helped this amazing young man! He's no longer handicapped, he's now "handi-capable" - John Kazickas added.
